I was too tired (make that lazy) to cook last weekend, so I drove down Castro St. and hit up KFC on El Camino (healthy, I know). I parked my car and as I approached the door, there were two bums sitting on the curb. One of them looked at me and gave me a head nod. As I walked by, I asked him how he was doing. He replied by saying "you're doin' better than I am." It kind of caught me off guard, but I just continued walking. As I was ordering my meal, I thought about what the guy outside had said to me. It made me think. How easy was it for me to stroll in here, order food, pay for it, and leave? How hard would it be for the guy outside to do the same? Why was that the case?
As I was walking out, one of the guys was quick to start explaining to me that him and his buddy were just trying to get a BBQ chicken sandwich (I found it funny that he didn't just say that him and his buddy were trying to get some food. Instead he laid it out for me; this man wanted a BBQ chicken sandwich. No more, no less). I gave them a few dollars and went on my way.
That day, I was reminded of how lucky I am. If you're reading this, odds are, you're lucky too. Think about it.
