Humility

Tonight I learned how far from the mark and my ideals I can stray without conscious thought of others. I made a hasty blunder trying to transfer a gentleman from his wheelchair to my car and we both ended up in an very vulnerable position after falling a few feet to rest on the parked wheelchair. Thankfully my friend was not hurt, although in my haste and complacency I robbed him of some personal dignity. I need to remember to slow down and be considerate of my fellow man's need for intelligent and thoughtful requested assistance which protects his dignity as opposed to a hurried and haphazard approach which discounts him as a human.
