I’m a big believer that the world will be a better place not by targeting our emotions. Like being more nice to each other. It will be a better place only when we do more thoughtful things. Even the most basic things. Working with people whose job it is to clear blocked sewer lines a case in point. Only 3 things should go down a toilet. Your number 1’s and 2’s, and toilet paper. That’s it. Nothing else. Try being the person for a day who has to clear this mess up in the sewers. Our societies become fractious through the accumulation of thoughtless things. That causes us to clash, creating ‘negative’ emotions. To fix those, you don’t add fake positive emotions. You stop doing thoughtless things. You bloody think.
