Anonymous

So I've decided that it is pretty awesome to be anonymous. I mean, when you do something for someone and they see you do it or know that you did it, what do they do? They say thank you or otherwise express gratitude. That's a no brainer, and it's for sure a good thing, and in most cases I believe in that persons sincerity. However, it can't be denied that at least in part the motivation in that "thank you" was likely inspired by simple courtesy. Now, courtesy is a virtue that we should likewise aspire to, but if expressions of gratitude are hollow outside of courtesy then something needs to change. That however is another discussion entirely. So what's my point? When I give of myself anonymously and see the joy and appreciation, unobscured and unfettered by the demands of courtesy or anything else, that that inspires in people it makes me happy. Their gratitude is certainly pure of pretense and I like that.
