Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper. If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. It has become very common to see people standing on the side of the road holding signs asking for assistance. Sometimes they have props that induce empathy towards their situation. I mean, doesn't a woman with a sign saying she needs help while standing beside a baby in a stroller make you want to do something? We all have out attitudes and thoughts about them. Sometimes we wonder if they are lying. We rationalize the situation and think to ourselves we are one paycheck away from being them. We are one medical event away from needing the very assistance that they are asking of us. If we are particularly mean, we figure it is their choice and that they are making more tax free money than we are working our minimum wage job. Whatever you are thinking is between you and your conscience. I got to thinking that in reality, we could all be out there holding a sign. The people we see are asking for what they are missing in their lives. In this culture it is usually money, but don't we all have a need that is unfulfilled? What would your sign be? If you were on the corner of Main and Antelope what would your sign say? In Need Of Love. Will Work For Forgiveness. If I saw you on the way out of the Raleys shopping center what would your sign say? Out Of Acceptance, Need Hope. We are all that person who has something missing from our lives. What would it do to our lives if someone reached out their car window and gave you a handful of kind- ness? A handful of worthi- ness that you could use to change you life. Would you stand taller? Faydra Rector Life Coach Imagine your props standing with you. Suitcases filled with failure, shame and anxiety. Years piled beside you of lost love, missed opportunities and bad choices. Imagine someone pulling off the I-5 freeway and handing you a bag of security as you stand there with your sign. Imagine someone digging in their car and giving you all of their extra confi- dence and handing it to you, wouldn't you be grate- ful for the gift? Imag- ine if you were stand- ing in the wind and rain with a sign that said "hopeless" and someone took their time to bring you a hot cup of compassion and told you they hope things get better. Imagine your tank being completely empty on your journey and someone filling that tank with whatev- er help you needed. The people we see on the road have the guts, or perhaps the audacity, to ask for help. I say it isn't up to us to judge their motives. I say it is up to us to decide if we have something that we can do to help. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
