cabal,

I appologize for misunderstanding the word ‘spoil’ in a thread about why people have unrealistic expecatations of wealth and happyness. Your children aside, I still feel my comment stands. We have a nasty habit of lavashing everything we can on our children, and then wondering why they expect everything of the rest of the world.
It seems you are doing well by your children, avoiding the much more common definition of ‘spoiling without hesitation’.

I keep trying to write responses to this tread, and deleateing them without posting becuase whatever I write just isnt right.

I can say this though, I think everyone should date/look around and not marry their first sweetheart. There is no way of knowing who you are and what works for you without trying each option out alittle. That doesnt mean you have to sleep around or anything. Just that what we think we want as kids/teens/collegeaged is so often totally wrong for us long term. All most all of the ‘sweethearts’ couples I know are also the most bitter and unhappy couples I know. I am not sure that people can really know love without experiencing somekinda pain first.

[quote=CBad]You know, apes fling their own poo at each other as well and I’d like to think some of us have evolved beyond that.[/quote]

I agree that we’ve evolved. Just not nearly as much as most humans would like to believe. It’s not a matter of evolved/not evolved, it’s a matter of degree.

And, frankly, I’ve been in board rooms where I wanted to shove a big fistfull of my own shit in someone’s face… but I thought twice about it and refrained. But that doesn’t mean that the base impulse isn’t there.
