I am a pretty normal American... at least in the sense that I usually mute the TV during commercials. However, every so often, there is a commercial that I absolutely have to hear. One of these elite few that have risen to the top is this BP ad with the dancing babies. It’s just so random! And random impresses me.
This happens in the social world as well. We shun almost everyone around us... but the few people who have the same ethnic, religious, social, or even financial backgrounds as we do get a lot more attention. It’s perfectly okay to not be best friends with every Jimmithy on the block. We both understand that.
But what I see too much of in school is a social heirarchy. Of course, there’s the “de facto segregation” that we learned about in US History, meaning that segregation will always exist on some level. And it’s fine to make friends only with people that have common values. What isn’t okay is when Jimmithy doesn’t deserve help picking up the books he dropped because he’s poor and smells funny.
I don’t know anyone named Jimmithy. But we all know someone who we’ve treated like a Jimmithy. Try to make a conscious habit of taking time to be a B’tilda to all the Jimmithies you notice during the course of the day. B’tilda is a nice person. B’tilda bought her mom twelvety flowers for Easter Claus. In short, B’tilda is who you want to be. Say hey, and make the day a little better... baby.
If you look really closely in the video, when it shows the gas tank on “almost empty,” you can see two other gauges: a diaper one (more than full) and a bottle one (less than empty).
