Don’t be afraid to set an example

Many times, at night my wife and I will sit in our den, in our recliners, and watch television. Sometimes as we watch, we get distracted. We will also look at our phone, iPad, or, like many older adults, take a nap. Occasionally, we will have to ask each other what is happening in the movie.

One movie, I was halfway interested in, I heard an adult say to a young man, “Don’t be afraid to set an example.” It seems this young man had a troubled past and was trying to turn his life around. As hard as he tried, people tended to remember him as a bully and a troublemaker.
