This was going to be a longwinded rant on how we automatically go to being assholes instead of doing decent things, but it got preachy. Moral of the story: give up the snark and asshole comments when given the chance and just try to be decent to each other. It’s tough, but we all have good in us, and since we’re stuck on this rock hurling through space for the foreseeable future, might as well make it a little more enjoyable. Oppo Challenge: do something benevolent out of the goodness of your heart this week. Because we’re all in this together.

Photo not mine, but I looked up at the Northern Stars tonight and thought “we can do better”.

I’m guessing something to do with the mass shootings and gun control.  Cause it’s the same shit every time there is one, and sadly it happens over and over and over again.

I was never nice, and I’ve gone too far

In stopped traffic I got out and picked up a flat of styrofoam before it got smashed into a million pieces, no more good deeds for a month

The older I get, the more I try to adhere to what my momma always told me, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. ”

It’s still ok to e ncourage others to make questionable Craigslist purchases just because you want to see what happens, even though you know the only possible outcome is  financial disaster , right?

50/50, as long as you tell them it's a bad idea as well.

I had a decent work shift and thought "why isn't this normal?"

Exactly, "this is a terrible idea and you should definitely do it."

I’ve been refraining from political conversations on social media as of late. It makes life less stressful and reminds me that I have FAR more in common with my fellow humans than I have differences. Political beliefs are only a small part of who we are, and we need to get back to a place where we can respectfully disagree and still love one another.
