So we were at a hotel this weekend for a wedding. It was a very nice hotel. Much nicer then ones that I usually stay at. We were able to snag it on priceline.com for a great price. The only problem it seems is that some of the other guests felt that it was ok to have a loud party in their hotel room at midnight. It was pretty inconsiderate really.

As I consider the situation I realize that many times I am like these guests. I assume that since I have the ability to do something then I have the right to do it. I overlook the consequences and effects of others. It is very difficult to consider the other person because this implies a sense of social responsiblity towards others. But beyond that it means loving your neighbor.

This evening I had a men’s group oreintation. It was a good time of hanging out and getting to know each other. Afterwards we went out to a resturant to grab some dinner. Upon leaving I was not able to take my leftover because everyone was saying goodbye outside. On my way home I realized that I forgot some papers back at the resturant. I went back and saw my leftovers still at the table. So I asked a nearby waiter if I could get a togo box with no questions asked. This got me thinking…Is it possible to just randomly walk into any resturant and and ask for togo boxes for leftovers with no one ever questioning you?
