My last column wrapped up 2010, with a recounting of a taxicab driver's "Law of the Garbage Truck." It compares some individuals to garbage trucks that run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As the garbage piles up, "they need a place to dump it and sometimes they dump it on you."
The cab driver's advice: Life is too short, don't spread your garbage to other people, and don't let the garbage trucks take over your day!
In that column, I quoted the great Chinese teacher, Confucius: "Do not do to others that which we do not want them to do to us." I suggested this is a good place to start as we conduct ourselves in the new year.
Then came an e-mailed greeting card that inspired me to write today's column.
