The Positivity of Absolute Value

#2.
That is how many posts on the Positivity that will remain linkless.
No stories to report here, no information to relay.

I only come on tonight for a few moments to wish all of the ladies out there who have given birth once or twice or however many times, a warm and congratulatory "Happy Mother's Day."
You most certainly deserve it.

I look at this day and I think of all the people who are out there right now.
The doctors and nurses, the military and police force, the social workers and therapists, the biochemists and geneticists and yes, even the Republicans and the Democrats.

I think about all of these people and the differences they are making, and am enlightened to take a more reductionist point of view. Without this day, this mother's day, we certainly would have no mothers.
And certainly with no mothers we would have no populace.
And with no populace we would have absolutely no technological advance.
And with no technological advance I would be simply a bored, albeit rambling fool.

Thank you to all those who were brave enough to bring people into this world, who would eventually become just crazy enough, to change it.
Kudos.
