I thought that the video that we watched in class today showed that the people around you can have terrible things going on in their lives and can put on a good face to show the world.  A person who is not in their shoes should show more empathy towards these people because their lives are not as challenging as what those people are going through right now.  A person should not get angry and the small things in life such as traffic or having to wait in line for a coffee because there are more important things in the world than those.  I know that many people do the same things that the man did while he was in his car, myself as one of them.  Being able to change your ways and help others because of it is what service is all about.
