While on a walk one day, I was surprised to see a man hoeing his garden while
sitting in a chair.
"What laziness!" I thought. But suddenly I saw, leaning against his chair, a
pair of crutches. The man was at work despite his handicap.
The lesson I learned about snap judgments that day has stayed with me for years
now: the crosses people bear are seldom in plain sight.
