No, I mean seriously. One thing setting off another is just so ... satisfying, you know? They have a rhythm that just makes me feel good.

Tell me you don't feel better just watching that.

That one is a little messy, though, isn't it? The best is when one thing sets off another, and another and another, and it feels ... complete. Everything winds up in the right place.

Shiny, right? I seriously feel better just watching that.

But here's the best one-thing-leads-to-another I've seen in a long time.

Tiny little actions set off a chain of happiness. People give just a moment, or just a small gift. And the next person does, too. We have bumps of big kindness, but mostly, it's just a pulse of everyday friendliness.

Oh, and the song is "One Day" by reggae superstar Matisyahu. You will not regret having it stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Watch to the end, because it's satisfying. Trust me, it will complete you.

Maybe today is a good day to start your own chain reaction. When someone does something as simple as smile at you, pay it forward.

A teacher asked a great question about superintendent pay. Then, all hell broke loose.

Why should a superintendent get a raise while teachers in the same district struggling to make ends meet see their paychecks flatline — year after year after year?

Teacher Deyshia Hargrave begged the question. Minutes later, she was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of a cop car.

The scene was captured below by YouTube user Chris Rosa, who attended a board meeting for Vermilion Parish Schools in Louisiana.

You can watch Hargrave begin speaking about 33 seconds in. The situation starts becoming contentious around 6:35 minutes. Hargrave is arrested at 8:35, and then walked outside in handcuffs and placed in the back of police vehicle. (Story continues below.)



"We work very hard with very little to maintain the salaries that we have," Hargrave, who teaches middle school language arts, said during a public comment portion of the meeting, stating that she's seen classroom sizes balloon during her time at the school with no increased compensation. "We're meeting those goals, while someone in that position of leadership [the superintendent] is getting raise? It's a sad, sad day to be a teacher in Vermilion Parish."
