A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.
– Robert Bulwer-Lytton

I’m currently reading Christopher Moore’s book, Fool, and have had the word stuck in my mind. I had decided to perform a random act of kindness and say thank you to someone I despise. I think the ripples from this will take a while to show. Still it was an interesting sensation walking there and making myself say something nice. Something I don’t experience often, maybe I can use the feeling in a book some day. It probably felt like flattery more than a genuine thank you, but I’m okay with that.
