I wish I could take back all the times I made fun of anyone for something they liked. A store is playing Live Like You Were Dying or whatever and I'm just thinking if someone likes it, its meaningful to them...what's the point of trying to show it's bad? What do you really get out if that? I hope off trail I can remember to just empathize with why they like it, even if the medium causing the positive feelings may be dumb.

I came across a group of hikers the other night that I've seen before and like hanging with so I joined them for the evening. Most were on the Drugggs that evening and one got the group to create an "energy sharing circle" where everyone holds hands hand and collectively focuses on "sending good vibes" to each person before doing the same for the next person. While this garbage was happening, for garbage it was, I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly - the people around me were happy, and that makes me happy, why would I try to take that away or risk tarnishing their high (pun intended)? So I hope I always remember to do no harm to other's enjoyment and have the discipline to keep my opinions to myself when they risk doing so.
