Why Leaving a Comment...

Why scrolling is secretly...

Here’s what happens when you click like or comment…

• You - participate…

• You - just put skin in the game…

• You - aren’t just a passive experience of -  life - happening to you…

In other words, you aren’t just endlessly scrolling…

Killing time…

When you click like or comment…

• A thrill is sent….

• And a thrill is given…

Somebody wrote, snapped, or shared what you just gave “thrilled” too…

And somebody - just got given to by your click or comment….

(Imagine what happens, when you share, but I digress…)

But here’s the BIG PROBLEM I see…

And the BIGGER POSSIBILITY…

SCROLLERS - just scroll through their lives - from what I can tell…

It’s not just when they are online - but everywhere in their lives….

On the other hand…

Those who like and comment - they are a little more active in life - and it shows….

Seeming side note:  I’m pretty easy….

I’m pretty easy to give a compliment - online - and in person….

About someone’s smile, or outfit, or the way they move in the gym….

I don’t just let them scroll through my screen of space…

I genuine them….

That’s a thrill to me….

So I made a new friend the other day….

(This happens quite a bit…)

His name is Sam, and he has a great beard…

Can you guess how we met…

I complimented him….

He’s a 55 year old fella, a writer…

Turns out he’s been wanting to ask me about my hats….

(He hasn’t.  He was scrolling….)

I’m the guy who always wears a NICE hat in the gym…

• While hitting the machines…

• While smashing the heavy bag…

• Think pork pie hat or fedora…

• I’m classy….

Then add in those RayBan Smart Glasses…

Yes, I do stand out in a crowd…

And I don’t mind….

Meanwhile…

Let’s talk about snowflakes…

To be called a snowflake isn’t a compliment…

And I notice - humans - really are like snowflakes….

All beautiful…

All unique…

And yet we treat them like they are fragile…

Afraid they might be offended - or explosive…

And so - at the end of the day….

So many folks are both lonely and in their heads….

• They could be having lovely experiences…

• Unique experiences with other unique people…

• They could be expressing and experiencing life…

• Or they could just let it scroll by….

So….

Give a like…

• Leave a comment…

• Share if you dare…

• Do it online…

• Do it at the gym…

• Or at the grocery store..

• Or at home…

Because - Sharing is caring…

Why not share - how you feel - they touched you - by simply being…

This might be the path to being - more of a human being….

Instead of being a human scrolling…
