Be good by doing good…
By Sparky | December 12, 2005
In my building lives a nasty old husk of a man. He’s in failing health and seems to project his sorry state of being on the rest of the world. He’s abrupt, rude, and loves to meddle in other peoples business.
I’ve adopted a very friendly stance in dealing with him. No matter what a pain in the ass he is about me, the rest of the condo’s residents, or the homeowners board I am polite and friendly to him and it drives him batty.
In the elevator today he said something (which I think was meant to be a personal insult) when I asked him how he was: “I am good because I do good”. One of the hardest things I’ve done in a while was to smile and nod rather than pointing out that he must be feeling rather horrible because he’s certainly never done anything good for the rest of the world.
