Could Elon and Bezos Solve World Problems?
Leave it better than you found it.
Maybe it’s a country song.
Or I might have seen the sign at a trailhead before wandering off into the woods to wonder.
Which seems to me to be good advice no matter what.
Can you imagine if we applied that pithy philosophy to relationships.
You meet someone, even for a moment, and you leave them better than you found them.
I need this lesson in my life. More so today than most others.
Today, there was traffic.
Stacked and packed with idiots.
There was speeding and swerving, and some jackamoe hauling 90 mph into a rush hour back up.
Which doesn’t make sense to me.
Why do some people think situations just don’t apply to them?
As if the sea of cars are going to part like the Red Sea in front of Moses, cause this kid in a pick up wants to get where he’s going two minutes faster than anyone else?
I did not leave him better than I found him.
Nor did he do the same for me.
I did refrain from cursing.
