The Cookie Thief
The Cookie Thief, by Valerie Cox, Chicken Soup for the Soul♥
In life, we invariably get into trouble because of our own assumptions that we take for granted. Maybe we should give others the benefit of the doubt. Maybe others have a good reason to do what they're doing.
The woman in the poem simply assumed that the cookies were hers, and assumed the man was the culprit-enjoying her cookies without so much as a "May I" or a "Thank you". She thought he was the cookie thief.
Too often, we are quick to judge based on our assumptions, only to realize that we had hastily jumped to conclusions without any idea of the whole picture.
Things aren't always the way they appear. There are chances that we're only seeing one side of things.
Why not keep an open mind?
Why not be a little more kind, a little less judgmental?
