"A while back I was caught in a major traffic jam on my way to work
when a humongous truck, an eighteen-wheeler, was trying to merge into
traffic from the entrance ramp. The behemoth was right next to me,
lurking over me, edging ever nearer. 'No way it's getting in front of
me,' I said to myself as I pulled up even closer to the car in front of
me. You see, I really hate driving right behind huge trucks.
"But then I saw the driver's face in his side mirror, and my attitude
changed. 'It's not just a truck; it's a human being behind the wheel,' I
realized. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on the importance of seeing, in each person we meet, the "person with their own histories, problems and every day challenges."
