Who are “those” people that you would just prefer to ignore… to simply walk on by… to not engage if you don’t have to?

And when you are forced to engage with them, do you find it easy or difficult to offer a smile, or a kind word? Wouldn’t we rather give them a look or a comment that communicates our disapproval?

Well, there’s a story in the scriptures about a man who was despised by his countrymen. He betrayed them by collecting taxes for Rome. His name… was Zacchaeus.
