Even more powerful:

- walk up to a colleague you don’t always agree with or who seems not to respect your opinion
- out of the blue, thank them for being a dependable & helpful colleague and all their good work
- walk away leaving them shocked or baffled
- do it again

I enjoy this kind of thing. It is subversive. The Evil Demons who would like to keep shirts playing skins and X fighting O despise this kind of disturbance.

Vanishing grudges and dropped resentments infuriate the Evil Demons who thrive on conflict and hatred.

They want everyone to play their part. Hatfield and McCoy. Mongoose and snake.

It’s jolly fun to ruin the predictable pattern. Wipe the slate clean. Join the world as it is instead of as it used to be.

Let bygones be bygones.

There are some who could never do this. They will wear their colors to their grave. Once bitten, twice shy. Fool me once...

Or so they say. They need you to play your part. To be the black checker to their red. If you refuse to play the opponent, you can sometimes end the game.

What happens after the game? Sit and chat. Share a cup of coffee or tea for those yonder over the Atlantic.

What if it doesn’t work What have you lost? I cannot tell you. Only that what you think you’ll lose is wrong. What you gain will surprise you.
