Subject: Review of Pleasant Experiences
OCI has identified a recurring tendency across the Department.
A walk becomes exercise.
A meal becomes nutrition.
Rest becomes recovery.
A hobby becomes personal development.
A quiet afternoon becomes an opportunity to reflect.
Apparently, everything must achieve something.
OCI has reviewed this requirement.
No such requirement exists.
Some things may be enjoyed simply because they are enjoyable.
A good coffee does not need to improve productivity.
A beautiful day does not require a lesson.
Time spent doing something we love does not need to produce measurable benefits.
Sometimes the entire outcome is:
That was nice.
OCI considers this sufficient.
Benefits realised: Enjoyment.
Lessons learned: None required.
Corrective action: None.
Further analysis: Not required.
Case closed.
Respectfully filed,
Office of Compliance & Integrity
Department of Self Love
“Not everything valuable needs to improve us.”
