I used to feel that I'm a nice guy. That I'm a good person who thinks well for everyone.
Well few days ago I was coming back from gym and I had a heavy workout so I was very tired. I went to my vehicle in the parking lot and proceeded to head home. A dog was sleeping on the way of one of the exits of the parking lot, he seemed to enjoy his sleep. I could have taken a turn and went to the other exit and not disturb the dog. But I was very tired and I didn't want to make the effort to take another exit so a thought came into my head. " I can always honk and wake him up and move it aside, its not like its not gonna move ". Unfortunately, I listened to my voice in my head and honked and woke the dog up from it's sleep.
That's when it hit me.
The disturbed and startled look on the dogs face still makes me sad.. I was ashamed of myself as soon as I saw that face and a look of sadness in the dogs eye. He was sleeping so peacefully. I could have easily taken another way and not disturb him, it wasn't that much effort it detour. But I gave into my tiredness disturbed its sleep.
That's when I realized that I'm not as nice as I make myself to be. I still have a lot to learn about being kind and considerate.
Next time, I will definitely take the other way around if its possible and let the dog sleep :)
