Well, most of us end up marrying or dating people who were complete strangers.
Isn't it amazing that some anonymous people can moralize and chastise others. Who are they to have any moral authority?
I see some rather sad, lonely individuals who are hostile and angry. They attack others because that makes them feel
less unimportant than they really are. What a life they must have.
Well you are right about this. Although my wife and I moved in the same circles growing up, we never met. When we finally and fatefully connected, we were strangers with some shared history and a lot of differences. Opposites attract they say. We were near opposites with an affinity for each other. They said it would never work. My family and hers bet against success. 50 years later we are proving them wrong. Of course most of those naysayers have passed, but we still envision ourselves thumbing our nosed at them.
I try not to moralize or chastise others. I am hardly in a position to do that, not being anything near perfection myself. I do love an intellectual exchange with some folks though, even when they are smarter than me.
I think you intended to write that for some people attacking other makes them feel superior even when they aren't. I've known some people like this. They are a real downer. My mom was one of these people. She used to randomly announce that she was the boss and the we (my dad and I) were nothing. One time I reminded her that she was proclaiming to be the boss over nothing. She slapped me.
