i went shopping today, and in front of me in the traffic queue was a Toyota Prius. the back of the car was plastered with bumper stickers promoting "Coexist", "Go Green," et cetera.
and my first thought? it wasn't, "good for you. support your causes!"
it wasn't, "way to drive eco-friendly."
it wasn't, "i respect your convictions."
it was, "you're a pretentious and overpaid snob."
i am a prime hypocrite, and it sucks.
i can't expect respect without first giving it.
to whomever you are, dude in the Prius--i'm sorry. i made a snap judgment, and a negative one at that. please forgive my small-mindedness. it's people like me who make people like you feel so much like crap. i'm sorry.
today is a day to practice BEFORE preaching.
