  • I don’t know, it makes a lot of sense, in an asinine way. Many people are self-centered and incredibly selfish. Of course we all benefit from living in a world where children are happy, fed, cared for, and well adjusted. But for folks without kids, it’s usually indirect, rather than direct benefits, making it harder to quantify.

    But, their property taxes that fund schools are easy to quantify, so the selfish get grumpy about it.

    It’s like not wanting your tax dollars to fund cancer research, because you don’t have cancer. It makes no sense, until you remember the person talking is a selfish dunce.

















  • There is a difference between giving some a gift you know they don’t like and giving someone a gift that they don’t like. It’s literally the thought that counts, and as someone who has been married a long time, it’s important to place the thought first and the gift a distant second.

    If (when) I get another tie for Father’s Day, I won’t necessarily like, want, or need it, but I will still cherish and appreciate it. It’s nice to get things you like, but it’s much nicer to be loved and appreciated.
