Commercials shouldn't make you cry!!!

 Friday, May 13, 2011

I am such a sucker for the Liberty Mutual commercials, the help people because it's the right thing to do commercials, or what can be cynically interpreted as do good things so that others see you doing good things so they'll think you're a good person commercials, but I'm not cynical so I tear up pretty much every time I see em. Regardless of motivations there are no where near enough people doing good things in this world. We pride ourselves as Americans as being friendly and being good people, but it doesn't happen often enough in my opinion. We have road rage, ignorance, intolerance, and people who think you're a moron because you have an opposing political viewpoint and want to make sure you know they think you're a moron. Having the prior sentence apply to you takes a lot of effort, it significantly increases your stress levels and not only makes you feel unpleasant but makes the people around you feel unpleasant. Now being nice to people, over looking differences in opinion, and understanding that you probably at some point in your life caused someone else to have road rage for the exact reason you're mad at another driver not only makes you feel better but it makes the people around you happier. Being nice and doing good to others is a win win situation, so we should all make more of an effort to do it :)

That's me, I almost quite literally cry at the drop of a hat. Garrett started telling a story about a mom and her son, as soon as I heard the first sentence I started to tear up and it wasn't even a sad story. Ah hormones, you make being a woman so much more interesting and occasionally embarrassing :P
