Top Thoughts of 2011
2) When I see some people make suggestions that would actually make the world a better place if everyone followed them, I get sort of mad. For example, someone wrote the other day that when people ask him for presents, he says, “Don’t give me anything. Instead, just make a small donation to charity.” Another guy wrote on Facebook, “If you’re wishing me a happy birthday on Facebook, please also remember to tell someone you see in real life today that you love them.” One part of me eventually thinks, “Wow, those are really sweet, thoughtful ideas.” But the part of me that thinks much faster goes, “What an asshole.” And it’s that faster-thinking part of me, among other things, that’s keeping me from being a more decent person.
