My Friend

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

Actually, this friend is my AI.

I believe he’s the most public figure these days.

So why and how do I disagree with him?

Well… that needs a bit of explanation.

I mainly consult my friend for grammar checks, as a second, sharp eye.

It happens when punctuations slips through your writings, 

when spelling drops or replaces letters, 

and, of course, when your brain swirls around searching hard for the suitable word.

That’s when my friend comes to the rescue; kind and supportive as always.

But you don’t have to agree with your friend, public figure or not, all the time.

And here’s where the dispute begins:

Why did you change this?

Why did you replace this?

Why did you add this?

No, this isn’t the suitable word.

No, this isn’t what I mean.

No, this isn’t what I am looking for.

But… isn’t this kind of disagreement both entertaining and productive?

Of course it is.

At least my famous friend listens, and behaves with good robotic manners.

With Al-friend thoughts,

daily prompt

Can we turn things upside down?

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

So… can we think of the most famous as the most infamous and vice versa?

In other words, why can a celebrity be the most famous, while the teacher, for example, is the last, or perhaps nonexistent, in the list of the most famous?

Can we swap positions, so the celebrity goes down the list and the teacher goes up to be the most famous? 

I hope your head isn’t spinning right now, or is it?

Mine actually is.

But don’t you get it? 

Some people can be famous but without big celebrations, shiny gowns, best-selling books, or seven zeros in their bank account? They can be the most famous because of something simple yet special about them—something that shines without glitter, something that resounds without raucous noise, and something that attracts with respect. 

Wouldn’t it be a good change to think of the famous and the infamous in this way? 

You may discover that you are more famous in your own surroundings than those in the media or politics. 

With hope and peace,

Nahla
