Time for the Thursday Thumb-Twiddler …
1. Would you remain in a marriage if you found out your mate had had an affair? What if it had happened more than once?
I probably would, but it would be a pretty badly damaged marriage, with a lot of trust issues wrenched out of joint. Of course, clearly there would be a lot of problems already, if Margie decided she had to go outside the marriage to have an affair, without even discussing it with me.
2. If you knew that if you devoted yourself to any single occupation — music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc. — and be among the best and most successful in the world, what would you choose?
It would probably be writing. It’s something I’ve had a hankering to do, have enjoyed doing, and would like to do again some day. Well, beyond this blog.
3. What word or short phrase should people say more often?
“Please.” And/or “Thank you.” “My mistake” would be a good one, too. And “After you.”
Politeness: it’s the lubrication system in the engine which is life.
