Don't know how often I'll post here but if I find something worthy / suitable I will. Here goes!


One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, “I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week”. The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.” The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Member of Congress came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from. you. I'm doing community service this week”. The Member of Congress was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Congress lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Humans shouldn't...

Sit at a desk for 8+ hours a day

Go home every night to sit and zone out with Netflix

Explore the world for only 2 weeks of the year

Have zero creativity or creative outlets

Have every single aspiration beaten / driven out of them


There is so much more to life!!!
