It's an important weekend for members of the two largest religious groups in the U.S. and if you're among them, appropriate sentiments of the holiday to you.*
Me, I had a Saturday less productive than I would have preferred. There's a little work to be done around mid-day but I'm spending the morning with friends.
And what I wrote yesterday? I still mean it. There are no brownie points in treating your fellow-humans poorly. Not even when they are being rude to you.

*One of my coworkers, having to work Friday evening, had prepared a Passover dinner earlier and was headed down the hall to a conference room with it as my day ended. "I was going to rush home for this and rush back, and then I thought, why not have my family come here?" Seems like a graceful accommodation to me.
Thank you very much for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteAm I in trouble if I hear you say "I still mean it" with your hands on your hips, a scowl on your face, and you using your "Mom voice"? I may have snickered a little at that despite agreeing unequivocally with the sentiment. :)

Threats of arson arising from the answer to a theoretical question from somebody with an ideological ax to grind--why yes, one can detect a little rudeness in all that.
ReplyDeleteDrifter, thank you -- and you've caught my tone of voice precisely. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is not often that logic trumps emotion with us humans.
ReplyDeleteYou trump both logic and emotion with kindness.
Truly grace.
