Everything's all right in the right perspective!!

I was furious, I was depressed... It was the hottest day of summer so far, nothing had gone right in college that day, I had an assignment due tomorrow which I hadn't even started writing, and here i was standing in a crowded bus, which was stuck in a loooong traffic jam. I was ready to scream and lash out at anybody in my near vicinity at the slightest provocation. I stood holding at a bar in the bus, drowning in self-sympathy, when outside the window, I saw a man walking towards a shop. There was nothing wrong about the man,mexcept his legs. His right leg was placed in a peculiar way, his toes were touching the ground, but the rest was placed as if he was wearing an invisible high-heeled shoe. He was dragging his leg, and walking towards a shop, slowly and steadily, but he smiled and greeted every person on his way. Suddenly, I became acutely aware of both my legs touching my ground, and I was filled with shame at how I had been unnecessarily cribbing about my everyday problems. I sent up a silent guilty sorry, took a deep breath, and resolved to finish my assignment and not to procrastinate.
The man meanwhile, walked slowly upto the side of the shop, opened up a tap and washed away all the mud stuck underneath his feet, and walked back quite normally inside. I managed not to laugh out loud, but it was a close thing.
Thank you Lord, for teaching me a lesson AND making me smile.
