Lovely, un-diverse 😉 high-school choir (“Southeastern Minnesota Honors Choir”) serenading patients and caregivers in the atrium of the Charlton bldg, Mayo Clinic 🙂
…..”Minnesota Nice”
It is true that Midwestern white folks can be very nice, and especially in Minnesota. And at the Mayo Clinic here in Rochester, they take it to a whole new level. In the elevators, total strangers are chatting away, and you also see Mayo employees having easy interactions.
Everyone wants to help and cooperate!
What is “nice”? Says Roget’s Thesaurus:
pleasing, friendly, agreeable, winning, winsome, prepossessing, refined, cultured, amiable, delightful, charming, inviting, pleasant, cordial, courteous, ingratiating, considerate, kind, kindly, helpful, gracious, obliging, genial, gentle, simpatico (Spanish/Italian), seemly, decorous, becoming, unassuming, unpresumptuous,
There is no doubt that patient outcomes are so much better in a supportive and nurturing emotional environment.
When I left Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1975, that was something I really missed, how nice people were. I have since seen it in many Mormons, and also in Traditional Catholics (Latin Mass). You can feel an aura of smiles and love. 🙂 It ain’t fake, either. People THRIVE on getting and giving love. And this is why Christianity, even if deformed over the centuries, has been such a powerful faith.
And it all starts with checking your ego at the door…. seeing, realizing, grasping, that as God made you, He made other children, and they are His kids too.
So respect and care about every living thing: for the good it does, or that it could do for the world, or maybe someday will — in some future incarnation, if not now. 😉
When this great song came out, “We Are the World,” the organizer, Quincy Jones, said to the stars: Check your egos at the door. 🙂
(Some may not like some of the singers in this production for various reasons — some blacks, some Jews — or the cause (a famine in 1985 in Ethiopia) but the point was cooperation leading to an outstanding result.)
What a great song! And btw, it raised $141 million in current dollars, 90% of which went to Ethiopia for famine relief. and sold 20 million copies.
Wiki:
At the 1986 Grammy Awards, the song and its accompanying music video won four awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Music Video, Short Form.[47] The music video was awarded two honors at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards. It collected the awards for Best Group Video and Viewer’s Choice.[48][49]People’s Choice Awards recognized “We Are the World” with the Favorite New Song award in 1986.[47] In the same year, the American Music Awards named “We Are the World” “Song of the Year”, and honored organizer Harry Belafonte with the Award of Appreciation.
They had checked their egos at the door. 🙂

When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We’re all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and mee
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day, so let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There is a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the children (said we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day so let start giving (so let’s start giving)
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me, come on now, let me hear you
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day so let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me, yeah
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day so let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
And we’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day so let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the children, yes sir (are the children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day so let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me, ooh-hoo!
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day so let’s start giving (all right, can you hear what I’m saying?)
There’s a choice we’re making, we’re saving our own lives
……National Socialism has to return
A comrade on VK opined: “Only national socialism can save us.”
I replied:
Yes, but NS 2.0. Hitler ended up fighting the whole world, and guess what? The world won. 🙁
The new NS recognizes that the real problem is psychopaths in all races, and they step forward and work with the Jews. Jewry IS psychopathy — raised to an art form. 🙂 Jewry is psychopathy that is organized and financed to the highest degree possible. Psychopathy is not when your ego is checked at the door, but, instead, your ego devouring you, and transforming you into a sadistic, arrogant monster.
NS 2.0 is about killing the egoic mind. It is, over and over again, WE, not ME.
Du bist nichts: dein Volk is alles.
“You are nothing: your people is everything.”
And then, free of ego, and really seeing yourself in the other guy, people become so nice, and you enjoy their company, and their caring. Doors are left unlocked, spouses love each other, leaders never betray their folk, and the streets are safe for our women and kids.
And when Hitler returns, it will be better than ever, and unite all races against the demon people — and the demon in ourselves.
Why it is way beyond obvious to “NOT reincarnate looking exactly like Hitler” 😉
There’s a choice we’re making.
We’re saving our own lives.
