Every Person Has His Hour
Never look down on anyone or anything, for every person has a moment and every thing has a place.
Ben Azzai used to say: Do not look down on any person, and do not dismiss anything as useless. For there is no person who does not have his hour, and there is nothing that does not have its place. It is easy to judge people by how they seem today, quiet or awkward, young or struggling. Ben Azzai, who is said to have come to Torah as an unlearned young man and became one of the great sages of Israel, knew how wrong such judgments can be. Every person has been placed in the world for a reason, and there will come a moment when he alone can do what is needed. The same is true of every object and every event. Respect for others is not only good manners; it is recognizing that Hashem has a plan for each of them.

Think of someone in your circle who is often overlooked: a quiet classmate, an elderly neighbor, a new face in shul, a coworker who rarely speaks. This week, start a real conversation with that person, and ask about something they know or care about. Listen fully. You may discover that this is their hour, and that they have something you needed to hear.
