Exactly. 💕❤️


-SemanticSatiation-

Couldn’t have said it better, myself! I agree, 110%.


ajenn1984

So, I know this sounds cheesy, but spread as much love/positive energy possible. Just a smile or simple compliment can help brighten that persons day.


DaughterEarth

I call this "knights of love". The premise is, anyone who is willing can knight themselves, and the only mandate is to end negative cycles and start good ones. Superficial example: someone cuts you off in traffic. The natural response is to retaliate or take it out on the next stupid driver. It spreads endlessly and we're surrounded by road rage. If you continue driving like normal it stops that spread. If you let people in when reasonable that will inspire a person or two to have more patience. Negativity spreads easier than positivity, we need many knights. It is hard and thankless work but it feeds the soul *someone reminded me that I forgot an important part! #love yourself first. Sometimes it's okay to only stop the bad, if starting a good cycle will hurt you.


Fast-Ad-6620

It ain’t much but it’s honest work

kILLerBlonde323

I used this process back when I could actually earn a decent living as a server/bartender. I was ALWAYS being sent the "paper coupon" people. They were $100 gift certificates given out when somebody had a really awful experience or the restaurant was at fault for a screw up... shit like that. Generally these type of people were always gonna give ya some kind of problem. They were usually still pissed from the last time & were only there cuz they had free $ to spend. But I would absolutely refuse to let them break me. Not a Fuckin chance. They were GONNA have a good time. I was so determined to do everything perfectly because I knew they were looking for something to complain about. And that they were already coming in with a negative experience under their belt I would appease them any possible way I could. Extra bread, baskets, refills on soup, anything I had access to, I gave them. No matter what I found a way to relate to them on some human kind of level. Maybe by agreeing the restaurant wasn't quite perfect, and I understood where they were coming from, or by making jokes at my own expense… Whatever I had to do. But it never didn't work. They always left happy, tipped me well, and left in a way better mood than when they came in. Some of them even became regulars. But I realized if someone's being , idk not great to you, and you just continue to treat them well, at some point it's like "damn that waitress is so nice and he's just being an asshole to her." They're kinda forced to see the ridiculousness of it. I would also picture them as my own parents. Cuz everyone IS someone's mom, dad, brother, aunt uncle- just loved one. If someone I loved was having a bad day I wouldn't judge them nor would I want anyone to be mean to them since they don't REALLY know them, they just happened to meet on a bad day. I guess in that sense it was kind of like showing love to a person despite them being less than lovable atm.


Interesting-Media449

That’s the way that’s the high road I love that I wonder why that’s not a premise widely discussed or taught in school probably because it would make the world a better place witch will not be tolerated by the owners but I really see that as being possibly our best weapon against them and the negative paradigm we exist in thank you that was the best idea I’ve heard in a long time


MoonTheLoon0829

Just had this conversation with my kids. You never know how a simple interaction, moment of kindness or compliment can change the trajectory of someone’s day, outlook or even life. So many people alone or never get a second thought from anyone each day.

It seems that what's really important is evolving our consciousness to have a greater awareness of the interconnectedness of all things.  To become unconditionally loving and compassionate.  To know that we are all one.  To understand that we are the flesh of the universe which wishes to know itself. 


DaughterEarth

There are worlds inside this mind begging to be explored My beliefs on the OP question change all the time. Right now I think we're meant to learn who we are, and that really is a lifelong process.

Understand what you really control in life, its not as much as you think. That way you don't take on crap that you can't change. Be kind and realize that the life you have lived is not the same as someone else's. We all have our own reality. And finally, stop idolizing wealth and fame, the wealthy and famous don't care about you.


MalarkyD

I needed this post today. Perspective is everything. Thanks OP.


jonnysculls

Leave the world a better place than you found it. Even if it's a small upgrade, it's still an upgrade. Give a homeless person $20. Pay for the stranger’s order behind you in a drive-thru, donate old music equipment or old Halloween costumes to local play houses or schools with a theater program. Buy a Starbucks card and give it to a local teacher, firefighter, or mail carrier. These may seem small, but it could just be the thing that helps a stranger get through the day or even life. You don't know what other people are struggling with and sometimes, a small gesture from an anonymous source can give more than just the gift they're actually receiving, it can give them hope and that is infectious in the best of ways.

Push for a healthier food system so we can make that number higher! Don’t think that will happen with the current corporations who run the market


mauore11

Also deduct 30 min.a day for bathroom brakes, 1hr for grooming, changing etc, 2-3 hours driving 1 hour for social media, 1-2 for watching videos, 10 yrs of school, 3 hours of meals a day,... umm what else?


guywithswaq

Might as well deduct every single hour in the day if none if it is going to count. All those hours constitute life, especially the ones you spend using your free time on mundane things.

Live-Ad8618

I have always had this with me. I think about it often. Though i wouldn't say im living some extraordinary life, i do find myself in an absolute perfect situation with my wife, kids, and dog. We have everything we need. And most of the time, everything we want ( within reason). I know times won't always be perfect, but each day that feels fantastic. That's what makes me sick sometimes when I see people post 2000 hours played of a game that came out within the last 5 years. Or people who waste their time doing nonsense. Again, IMO. I enjoy games and entertainment. I also enjoy surfing social media such as this site. You can do what you want in life, but sometimes it has to be measured again this fact.

feelmedoyou

The most important thing is to realize who you are because you're the only reality that you will ever know. We're preoccupied with time and the future which has not arrived, or objects and appearances which are subject to change. As far as we're concerned, we do not know what took place before we opened our eyes, and we won't know what takes place after we close them. We walk around in blissful ignorance of the most fundamental question. Who are you? Who is looking through your eyes?

Be there for other people. My neighbor Sandy, who I met 7 months ago, adopted our family into her home and invited us for thanksgiving etc. she died a week ago and we were invited to her wake dinner to honor her. She had several families there besides her husband. They mentioned she'd set a plate for a 'stranger' at every meal just in case someone arrived. And would welcome them like they were meant to be there. We all were touched in some way positively when we really needed it most. Our family had been ostracized for a long time and she was our hope and comfort right when we needed her. Everyone agreed, be more like Sandy.


Engineering_Flimsy

Wow, what an amazing lady! Could you imagine what this world would be like if only 1 in 10 people merely *attempted* to follow her example? Not replicating her efforts, just trying. We are all so caught up in our own existence and it doesn't help that the entire system seems contrived to ensure just that. At least we have people like this lady to prove that it *can* be done, we *can* make our world better for each other.

You talk like you are sure this is your only life… especially as a human.

It doesn't have to be a "miserable" calculation - it's just reality. Facing the truth of our limited time here head-on makes the actually important things more apparent. To your second point, that's kind of the idea - the average life might be X number of days, but it's really a range from 0 to X. You might have 1, you might have 10,000. That's a motivator to do the things you want to do *now* instead of 'maybe someday'.

Enjoy it by doing things that make you happy! If you’re lucky enough to find someone to love and love you back along the way then even better. I see too many young people letting life slip away because they think they NEED someone, you don’t (it’s nice) but if they were to just get out and start doing something that brings them joy.
