Happy Friday, this morning I got the little princess saying, “Happy Friday”. The teacher picking her up was pleased with the greeting. Saying good morning or some other happy greeting is world building or happy world building, making those around you have a better day, week, and life. The teacher enjoyed it so much, she then took the princess to greet another teacher, continuing to spread the joy. Then those humans recognize this child made them happy and increase their preference towards the child. There’s no telling how much benefit this creates over time, especially since we’re talking about a three year old. Maybe someday that teacher writes a recommendation that gets the princess her dream job, or maybe that tiny display of kindness saves the world from destruction. There’s no telling the future, but the best we can do is to act in a way that we are trying to make things better and we can’t account for how other will interpret our actions. We find solace by knowing our intentions and that other’s opinions don’t matter. In other news I got my armor cleaned up, you can’t even tell the day before it was painted. The armor itself holds something like scars and the markings on the metal tell the story of our relationship, I’m getting to know that piece of steel like the back of my hand and the more time we spend together the closer we get. Alternatively the armor is a partner at work that is always having some problems, it can’t even sit for too long without gather rust. Something has got to be done about this guy, but his replacement of kevlar doesn’t have the attractive shine. Beauty takes a lot of work.
