2003-02-10 | COURTESY CLERK

Sometimes I say "thank you" when it's not even necessary.

But I don't think you can say it too much.

And I always say it when it should be said.

And I always say "please".

And "excuse me".

I'm one of the most courteous people I've ever met.

But I'd say more then half the people I say "thank you", "please", "excuse me", "how are you", "hello", "let me get that for you", "do you need help", and other nice things to, and more then half the people I do nice things for, return my words, or my favors with absolutely nothing.

Except dead silence.

That's one of the things wrong with the world.

Just one little thing out of a million others.

But that doesn't make it a non-issue.

You wouldn't believe how much fun it is to be nice, and what a treat it is when someone returns your courtesy.

And it's all free of charge.

Maybe that's why nobody cares.

"What does it do for me, man?"

That's the question of a foolish person.

One who hasn't been cordial to anybody or loved by anybody in a long long time, or possibly ever.

If you were raised that way, then maybe your goal should be overcoming that, and proving to yourself that life is what you make it. And what you break it, too.

So break yourself, foo.

Peace.
