I met Luis Cadenas when he was quietly reading a book during the trip, till the three children with his father entered the bus. I saw the scene from the bus ceiling and made me think about relativity. The children were so loudly, with the father doing nothing, that Luis couldn't help speaking to the father:
-Please, man, your children must behave correctly. They are bothering all around.
-I am sorry -said the father- you're right. Their mother has died this evening and we are going through a very bad moment.
Luis couldn't say a word, but his perspective had changed completely. Humans should never prejudge the other people reasons to behave as they do, and so they will simply be happier.
Luis Cadena wrote this and other stories in several books, and tells them during his seminars.
