QUOTE : Besides, those few people who aren’t a mess are probably good for about twenty minutes of dinner conversation.<br /><br />This is good news, that almost everyone is petty, narcissistic, secretly insecure, and in it for themselves, because a few of the funny ones may actually long to be friends with you and me. They can be real with us, the greatest relief.<br /><br />As we develop love, appreciation, and forgiveness for others over time, we may accidentally develop those things toward ourselves, too.
