a Moment
a Friday MomentA lot of people get hung up on Mondays. Office Space does a good job solidifying this with its famous play with, "a case of the mondays". But Mondays are supposed to suck. No one should like a Monday. If you like monday, that should be what gets notoriety. It's the hardest day of the week. Hump day is monday because monday is the 'alpe duez' of the week. Its downhill from there.
What happens when you get hung up on a friday? Friday is the peak of enjoyment. What about having a bad friday? Well I had a bad friday. A really bad friday. Sans details, the GE was in the dumps and down and out. But he had a moment. And a few strangers, with the help of my favorite, perfect, most deserving little friend, made me feel ashamed of myself. I, famously, was so focused on what I want I lost track of what I have. I thought of all the things happening in the world and my brooding was so insignificant and inconsequential I deserved a slap.
I'm happy for all I have, all of you I know, all of you I don't, all of you that are not afraid, really all of you reading this because thats not many, all I've lost, all i've wasted, all i've earned, and all i've loved. Cheer up, drink it down, and hug it out. You are not alone.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
