Hello you wonderful people! I wanted to share a project I had in mind.

It’s simply creating and giving random strangers a business card that says “You are Wonderful” as a reminder for themselves. I already have a design in my head, but wanted to hear your opinions, design ideas, and anything and everything else you have to say on this.

My life goal is to help make the world a better place and this is one small and insignificant step that will hopefully put a smile on someone’s face. Thank you for your input.

    i share a similar goal, and i think it’s nice that you want to spend your time and brain energy to brighten up random strangers’ days.

    for myself, i value fairness and equality. i also try to acknowledge the individual, the human inside, as much as i can. i can’t bring myself to make general statements like “you are wonderful” and “you are loved”, even if it’s true. if i were to imagine myself doing what you are planning to do, i cannot hand these cards to a neo-Nazi. i can’t. i won’t. however, there are other messages that i could consider handing out, such as, “i’m here to listen”.

    i prefer to do random acts of kindness anonymously through the use of social media. if someone posts a photo of their cute dog, i will compliment their cute dog. it doesn’t matter who they are, who i am, what either of us believe in at that moment, because we can both accept that the dog is cute. similarly, if someone’s going through a hard time and is posting about their hardships online, i recognize the courage it took for them to write it out and post it on the internet.
