Just for today I can accept that not everyone likes jury duty. I, however, feel excited and honored to exercise my civic duty by sitting on a jury and standing in judgement of other people in our society. Oddly enough, not everyone shares my point of view. While I waited with baited breath for my number to be called by the bailiff guy, my fellow potential jurors actually seemed relieved when they did not get chosen. Do they not understand how important this service is to our society? Do they not understand that this might lead to one of us uttering the famous words "Not guilty!"or "Guilty!" Just for today I don't have to understand other people's issues with jury duty. All I can do is be of service and accept others for who they are. Just for today, I am more than willing to be a juror.
