just as we would do a lot better to be less afraid of being fat." What a load of crap. The template is sort of fun, though. "We would all do a lot better to be less afraid of being squeezed to death by a giant anaconda, just as we would do a lot better to be less afraid of death by ebola." "We would all do a lot better to be less afraid of being eaten alive by a shark..." I think an entire thread of these things would be fun.


I don’t want to paint with too broad a brush here.

There are many causes for divorce, and I know as well as anyone the benefits that are possible from them. But while often complicated subjects, even when both blame the other, not all parties are as well equipped for critical self-examination. Here, the portrait of the individual painted in the article is not a flattering one. It’s hard not to see her cause as motivated at its root by self-centeredness and resentment that she should have to change to accommodate others irrespective of the virtue of the requested change. It’s hard not to conjecture that this hurts her ability to maintain rewarding and sustainable relationships.


I will fear pit vipers and refuse to do anything about it! *
