an experiment
the other day i got this thought in my head:
what would happen if i did one nice thing a day for someone i don’t know?
like a favor.
or some sort of help.
as long as i didn’t know the person.
what would happen?
to them?
to me?
to my outlook on life?
to the way i feel about everyday people?
to the way those people see life & others?
what would it cause them to do?
would i feel happier?
would people be surpised?
would they be prone to take the help?
would they be skeptical?
there was a movie called “pay it forward”
i never saw it.
is that what this movie is about?
my idea doesn’t have to be original.
most of my ideas aren’t.
i just thought i would try it out.
i’m not sure what to call these things.
good deeds maybe?
i don’t know if i’ll be able to do it everyday.
mostly because some days i don’t even leave my house.
we’ll see what happens.

i tend to think that nice things done by strangers are nicer than nice things done by people you know.
i’ve been on both ends of stranger niceness. i’ve felt the rush of faith in the world at large that comes from the simple act of a *complete* stranger taking the time do do something nice. and having experienced that, it makes me pretty happy to be able to give some stranger the chance to feel the same thing. i wish that perpetuating hope like that could be my full time job.
there are skeptics of course (as well as just jerks), and there always will be. but i hold out hope that one day some random act of niceness will come out of nowhere and just knock them over with amazement.
…that’s my story and i’m sticking to it.
i’m interested to see where your experiment goes!
