The 26th of April 2013 was the day Hitler recieved a compliment from me.
Well, not the actual Adolf Hitler who put the first syllabic word into "dictator", but a boy who used to go to my school and who might as well have been related to Hitler.
In all honesty, he was just an arrogant, uber rude and self-righteous bastard who my friends and I loathed with a passion. And the day he graduated was a day of celebration.
And I suppose it never helped his case that he called me a slut.
So last week, I was astounded to see him skulking around my school's church. I knew he worked there now, but it was still very awkward to see him.
Not wishing to be the ruder person, I said hello and asked him what he was doing for the church. We discussed that and he then mentioned the future possibility of being a chaplain.
I could have laughed at his ambitions and said "That'll be the day", but that would have been something entirely arrogant which wouldn't have looked out of place in one of his speech bubbles. Instead I told him he'd make a pretty engaging chaplain and that he'd be great at it. And he was stunned, said "thank you, have a great day" and scuttled off.
Today I'm posting this not because I've got nothing else to write about or because then I claim a prize for being diplomatic to the obnoxious, but because I want to present a challenge to everyone reading this post.
I dare you, the next time you speak to someone you disagree with, to compliment them in a way that makes their day loads brighter. Because even the most loathsome people in the world need unorthodox positive comments. I'm sure even Stalin or Kim Something-or-Other the North Korean DICtator, could have used things like "You have such an admirable moustache" or "There's a nice personality underneath all that nuclear threatening tyrannical-ness which makes you sound like someone too big for their britches".
I don't care who that person is. It could be your maths teacher that's secretly a Dalek. It could be the irritating person that steals the attention away from you. It could be the angry old bat that lives next door to you. And it could even be your dog. Whoever they are, next time you speak to them, say something that could potentially brighten their day.
If they accept it= yay!
If they can't take a compliment= smile at them. Because it either warms their hearts or drives them mad.
In other news my dear readers, I've been busy at my laptop loads more this week for two reasons:
Have an amazing next few days until the next post!

In other news my dear readers, I've been busy at my laptop loads more this week for two reasons:
- I've written a socio-scientific scale that identifies the qualities of a person and those qualities are matched with an appropriate label relating to plants/vegetables/fruit. I call it the Social Botany Scale and you'll all get to see it soon!
- I've been working far too much on a short(ish) horror story; yet to be completed but still one of the best things I've written. And like the Social Botany Scale, it will be released online.
Have an amazing next few days until the next post!
