[ Welcome ]

Welcome back. You’re welcome.  A welcome mat.  All of these uses of ‘welcome’: they all make me feel good.  Even the recent inclusion of welcomes to country, while sometimes awkward, do have the intention of making good.  So: where there’s welcome, there’s goodness.

What’s the opposite of welcome?  I had to look that up.  There were several unappealing, unpleasant, and nasty words, but a direct opposite is simply, unwelcome. 

When we’re unwelcome, we don’t feel good.

The #100words point is, if you’re looking for goodness, look for where you’re welcomed.   Be it work, socialising, or shopping.  Stay where you’re welcomed.
