An EXPERIMENT

I invite you to act like a person who’s in love. Even if you’re
not currently in the throes of passion for a special someone, simulate that
state.

Everywhere you go, exude the charismatic blend of shell-shocked contentment and blissful turmoil that comes over you when you’re infatuated.

Let everyone you meet soak up the delicious wisdom you exude.

Wield compassion like a performance artist who exults in carving up pessimism
and cynicism.

Dispense free blessings and extra slack like a rich saint high on natural endorphins.

Without straining, direct your perceptions to discern the most noble and
attractive qualities in each creature you encounter.
