Not horrible, just interesting.

I just saw a post on Facebook. I never go on there, I was prompted as my stepdad is on there and wanted to check up.

I read his post and just happened to look at one below. Typical Facebook "feels" shit that older people and Facebook types lap up.

It was a heartwarming story about Robin Williams (lovely photos accompanying it) who took a cab ride in New York. The cabbie didn't recognise him, but they got into a conversation about how the cabbie used to love to play the saxophone. Robin encouraged him to follow his passion and left a decent tip (Robin still unrecognised). The cabbie went home and dusted off his sax and rekindled his love of playing music. A sweet story.

I have questions. Unless Robin Williams followed the cabbie home, who actually witnessed this story? The cabbie was oblivious. I can only assume an omnipresent God posted this on Facebook.

Duly, the replies were dewey eyed and gushing, but it made fuck all sense if you even vaguely question it.

And this is why we are where we are.
