It's rude to stare, but the great thing about staring at a sedated person is that they don't know you're doing it.

About This Quote

This quote perfectly illustrates the point of the first three posts in this series. Without a doubt, it is rude to stare at a person who appears to be either dead on their feet or on drugs. But the key to this is that the people who are getting this treatment are unaware that they are being stared at. They don't know what is going on.

So, they can't really do anything about it! This is a very powerful use of symbolism and it is also a totally great way of reminding people of their own mortality. In a way, this quote is a lighthearted version of the Four Agreements. It is one more way to instill a sense of wonder and awe about what we have been given.
