So by now you may be asking yourself: Why is Daniel posting this ridiculous video?

Good question. …First, just because I think it’s funny. 

However, secondly, I’m mainly posting it because I want to illustrate how easy and hysterical it can be to disagree with people over completely meaningless issues. Far too often, I think people have difficulty sticking up for themselves because they have a subconscious desire to be agreeable with strangers, to not make waves, and to simply blend in even when the crowd is obviously allowing something terrible to occur. That’s nonsense. Sometimes you need to be disagreeable.

Consider this. If we can see how easy it is to disagree with someone over something pointless, then maybe we can all learn to disagree with someone, anyone, everyone over even bigger issues when it counts.

Try it. It’s actually incredibly liberating. The next time you see someone acting rude, or cutting in line, or acting like a bully to those around you, or being abusive to a coworker in the office, or being inconsiderate to a store clerk, or maybe just acting like a jerk in general; then maybe you can be disagreeable enough to tell that someone that it’s not okay to spread negativity. You see, if we can be disagreeable when it’s easy, then maybe we can also stand to be disagreeable when it’s difficult – when it’s important.

Oh, by-the-way! On a totally unrelated note…

If you have two seconds, please visit PeopleWater.com and tell me what you think. Basically, the company dovetails off the little known assertion that over half of all clean drinking water projects in developing countries fail shortly after launching. In response, PeopleWater states on their website that they will donate an equal amount of clean drinking water to someone in need for every bottle of water purchased. Pretty clever, huh?  Just look at their big green highlighted “Buy People Water” buttons once you get to the website.

Let me know what you think. I’m genuinely just interested in your opinion about the “drop for a drop” concept. Every voice counts.

Peace.

Daniel
