The Theory of Propagated Goodness

Now if you can't make up your mind between a girl fight or some poser philosophy from me then fear not.  Today we have both.  Here's the girl fight:  Coffee shop with baristas in bikinis under fire for calling customer a 'fat b****' and telling her to 'save world hunger by shooting yourself'

OK then, all set on the girl fights.

Some aspects of the Theory of Propagated Goodness you have heard before.  I helped out some lady and her kid on a lonely road in Louisiana but afterward I didn't say anything and just got on my way.  Quite a few years later the same thing happened when someone helped out my ol' Mother when she was stranded.  That doesn't mean what I did caused that to happen but rather goodness did and it's all about karma and setting it in motion.

The reason this comes to mind is that Michael Schumacher is in deep trouble just now.  The latest news is that he's stable and it realistically looks kind of optimistic or least much more than it did a couple of days ago.  It turns out that the clinic in which Schumacher is being treated is the best place he can be for that kind of medicine and he was a significant contributor in financing it.  He could never have known that someday he would so much need its doctors and its facilities.

This Theory of Propagated Goodness isn't some New Age malarkey to spout while you listen to George Winston piano music.  Maybe you wonder why it doesn't show as blazing thunderbolts coming out of the sky to burn up banksters for all the evil they have wrought but do you seriously think they have such wonderful lives.  They need massive security on their homes.  With all their money, the biggest concern is other people stealing it ... and they will steal it.  Their children get kidnapped by thugs, etc, etc.

It's a most unusual paradigm in the Land of the Free that the ones who are most free are the ones who have the least.  That's probably always been true, tho.  If you were a Pharaoh you couldn't go out wandering the streets around the pyramid any more than a rich bankster can do it now.  Neither is in a position to create a whole lot of goodness except through divine edicts that usually don't mean a hell of a lot.

The goodness that can be propagated when you're poor is almost always music as it doesn't cost a thing to make it.  A lot of times that comes out as blues and that's unfortunate as absolutely any kind of blues that can ever be played has already been played.  Even so, it doesn't matter if you have heard it before as those blues go out in a wave of goodness as the reason for playing blues is to help someone else with their blues.  Doing that starts a chain reaction.

It's not true that all music will start such a chain reaction as not all music is played for the same reason.  For example, maybe someone is singing for ego and wants to be the Best Singer Evah!  That won't start any chain reaction other than competing chicks chewing her back.  It doesn't usually happen that way when you're poor as many people get started in gospel choirs.  That's not ego, that's evolution.

(Ed:  Isn't this just a long-winded description of karma?)

Yah, but I like poofy titles.
