Name Badge

I had a thought this morning as I stuck my name badge to my brown hoodie. What if we all wore more than just our names on our name badges? If your's said your name and words about you: angry, sad, joyful, shy. If my badge said more than my name, then we could chat; we would having more than enough information for a conversation.

Last night a guest was acting as some guests do. And I thought, surely this guest needs to come with a warning label, grumpy, must always be right, unhumble. If we all came with honest labels about ourselves would we be more kind and understanding--knowing our faults are in the open just like everyone else? Would we hide less and care more?

That was my thought this morning. It may make sense, or, due to the fact I'm still not fully awake, this utopian thought could just come across as pure drivel. My name badge could read 'Darla, some times rambles.'
