Tomorrow is Sunday

I sat down. And realized the carnival's worshippers were meeting weekly to talk about a mission they never intended to join.

Instead of participating in his mission, they gather once a week to rehash what he said. The bench calls it carnival worship—the kind that feels good but doesn't change anything.

Same mission. Different gathering. 😏🪑⛪

That's the bench's diagnosis. The carnival's worshippers treat his work as a completed project—not a living mission. He finished his part. They assume theirs is done too. The bench calls that carnival completionism: the art of using someone else's finish line as an excuse not to start.
