Am I so important?

I reflect on my posts from last Monday -
how busyness is such a social disease (as I name it);
the event of the mad bus driver (take either meaning of 'mad');
my encounter at Immigartion (I, the offender).

I see a commom theme running through all three and it is in line with today's gospel story where none of those invited went to the banquet. Maybe they were too busy too. Who knows? You know whatever their reason for not going, what they were saying to their host was that they and their concerns were much more important to attend any such function.

Then just think what they missed out on.

Am I so important that I get upset when someone insults me or threatens me or calls me an offender? There is the great saying - get over it! Or there is the other one - just deal with it! So I guess the way to go is deal with it, get over it and move on!

Am I so imporatnt to be too busy for another? Am I so important to be upset when another is too busy for me?

Deal with it, get over it and move on!

So keep enjoying the banquet we are called to in life.
