It Should Be Against the Law

It should be against the law to be mean and unkind. Unfortunately these terms are subjective. My idea of mean and unkind might be quite different than yours. Things that make you laugh might make me cry And vice-a-versa. A third person might snort or roll their eyes Not bothered at all with things that put us in our beds with grief. Some might grab their canvas and paints. Others might have to take a happy pill. So how can we go about making such a law? Maybe it can be a goal.

I wish this was a goal for everyone... until then, we'll just have to keep choosing our companions wisely! ;)

Interesting reading how you basically talked yourself out of the idea of trying to legislate emotions. As they've always said: You can't legislate love; can't force people to love one another. True then; true today.

True emotions pop out of us before we identify them, for sure. But it is interesting to me that a pure trigger word for one effects another person in no way whatsoever.
