A man completes jury duty expecting drudgery but finds eleven strangers taking the work seriously, asking hard questions, and refusing to rush despite personal cost. He argues the experience proves we haven't lost our humanity, just stopped noticing it.
I just finished 2 weeks of jury duty. I didn't want to get picked. I got picked. And I'll be honest with you, that first morning I walked in thinking about everything I was missing. Calls. Clients. 2 businesses that don't run themselves. Then I sat down with 11 people I'd never met in my life, bad coffee, chairs that didn't match, and here's what I watched happen. Not one person in that room checked out. Not one person said, let's just wrap this up so I can get back to my life. There was a guy who kept going back to the same detail, over and over. Drove me crazy by the middle of the week. He was right to keep asking. The outcome was hard, I'm not going to sugarcoat that. Some things you decide and then you carry them out of the building with you. Everybody keeps telling me we've lost our humanity. I just spent 2 weeks watching the opposite. 12 strangers, no agenda. Nobody rushed it. Because somebody's life depended on us getting it right. And they'll send you that summons at the worst possible time. That's the only time they send it. Go anyway. That's your drink up for today. Truthfully, Sam,
