      Ooh, yes. Good ones. Simplicity and minimalism are right up there with “being intentional” and I’ll go ahead and say it “capsule wardrobe” 🤪

      Pay it forward..yep hate that one! Where I live at a drive thru coffee place often the odd time someone will buy the coffee for the person behind them..and then they are supposed to "pay it forward" people say, and it is like..well if everyone keeps doing that then it defeats the purpose...might as well just paid for my own.

      Plus I hate the fact now that every time someone does something nice, it is expected that they will get accolades, etc. and it is like why not just do something nice move on...why does everyone have to make a big deal out of someone doing something nice. Social media has really increased this type of thing, secret video of someone doing something nice...wow that is wonderful...like really.

      Yes! I forgot about being intentional. I don’t really have a problem with any of these concepts other than the bandwagon and the overuse of the phrases.

      Yes. Just quietly do your good deed and keep your head down and hope nobody’s recording you.

      Exactly, people have always done nice things just because...why does it have to be such a big deal? I look at my grandparents and they were in a farming community lots of nice things were done by everybody, but it was expected and that was that.

      Plus I hate it when people will say, "aw, isn't that nice, restores my faith in humanity"...oh please, people have been doing nice things forever (and bad things too).

      😂 yes, it’s a tired old chestnut.

      Unfortunately bad news is ubiquitous and I guess it gives a skewed view of the world. There’s a lot of bad and there’s a lot of good. It’s sad to me that people need their faith restored, but if they mean it sincerely rather than just using a worn out phrase then I’m glad for them.

      ETA: there is also the religious idea of spurring one another on to love and good deeds so maybe I’m just being cranky and uncharitable. That happens from time to time.

      "I didn't come here to lose." -- in every. single. competition. it seems like at least one person interviewed has to say it And no correlation as to whether they actually win.
