Why I think it's lovely people on nostr say GM.
A little philosophy I've held for a long time (that has served me well) is that a happy life comes from exposing yourself to more little uplifts than downlifts.
Living in a rough area, have a job you hate, and being unhealthy relationships, life becomes full of small downlifts, and before you know it, you hit rock bottom and feel horrible. It can be everyday things, like neighbours shouting at each other or your boss treating you poorly. Not one thing is terrible, but together they make you burn out.
IF you tip the balance and expose yourself to more uplifts, like finding a safe place to live, building healthy relationships, or having a job you don't hate, then before you know it, you're on top of the world.
The beauty is that you can create uplifts for others through simple gestures, like saying GM, and in fact saying GM is a two way uplift.
I find traditional social media is full of downlifts, whereas Nostr is full of uplifts.
