Change Your Mind

Brian approached me after my presentation today. He gently pulled me aside as it looked like he had something important to say.

"I was a police officer for twenty-five years," he began. "Your story about the September 11 Firefighter made me think about something I want to share with you. Maybe you could use it in your presentation."

He paused for a moment.

"Isn't it funny that before September eleventh, police officers were called pigs, and after September eleventh they were heroes?

What an interesting observation. Have you changed your mind about how you percieve those people who choose to make their livings keeping the rest of us safe?

Thanks Brian. It's about time we finally recognized every profession for the good they do and stopped calling names. Change your mind.

My only comment is "AMEN" Isn't it a shame how we sometimes treat people? Oh for a perfect world....but then we would be bored. Many thanks for sharing this us.
