Peering into office windows

What you see here isn't necessarily what you get, as each one of the seemingly identical windows has a unique story.

Individual lives play out behind largely opaque glass. And while sometimes - like at night - the lights come on and we can see through, it's just as likely that we never really see the entire picture.

Perhaps this is something we'll want to keep in mind as we leave another weekend beyond and dive into the week that will be.

Because even if we can indeed see through the glass for a few fleeting moments before we move on, we'll never really know everything that takes place on the other side.

Let's try to use less judgment and more empathy, then. Or spend less time standing on sidewalks trying to tell our own stories around what we think is going on in places we can barely see.
