The music and visuals really supplemented the speech well.
I experienced the highs and lows of his lesson just today.
I don't think I'll ever be able to force myself to think different about people who abuse the express lane. A few weeks back I saw a lady cart $350 worth of groceries through, not the 20 items or less line, but the 12 items or less line. Today, there was a lady unloading a full to the brim cart in the same line. Didn't get her total, but me seeing all the long lines and having just 5 items to buy, it just burned me up.
OTOH, when I got my cart, I got stuck behind a man with a real bad leg [don't know if it was an injury or palsy or what], but he was moving at a glacial pace through the entrance doors, walking with aid of a cane. But rather than being put out, I was nearly moved to tears by his independence and determination. You could tell that every step was arduous, but he pressed on, and it was inspiring, despite how it slowed down the achievement of my personal objectives momentarily.
