Besides which you make a choice. It is a disaster. You say that another choice would have been more disastrous. You cannot possibly know that. Yet some believe that what they don't know and never will but can only imagine definitely would be worse. Where does that kind of "thinking" originate? You can't know what you don't know and never will. You simply can't. Pretending you can/do doesn't make it so. Yet on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on they go..doing exactly that. Oy vey! :( What a revoltin' development! :( less

Maybe it is a brilliant ploy and one in which Pols always engage. I would think it would be counterproductive but maybe it's a surefire weapon to use. Whatcha think?
Which do you choose to do and why? Some take as much as they can get away with and are very PROUD of it while others give as much as they are able and always want to do more.

I've often wondered why since all human beings supposedly allegedly theoretically have the same needs. Givers and Takers. Sharerers and Selfishers. Us/we/thee or me me me me me me me. A puzzlement.
I don't ever expect gifts or even a thank you at work - it's my job to help people and I like to do my job to my best ability.. but a student gave me a prezzie of a bottle of wine,... moreI don't ever expect gifts or even a thank you at work - it's my job to help people and I like to do my job to my best ability.. but a student gave me a prezzie of a bottle of wine, (working my way through it as we speak :P) and it kinda got me thinking.. cos, as I said to her truthfully, I never did anything to deserve it.. I even, on occasion forgot to remind her of stuff... mainly cos I knew she was reliable and on the ball... There are others though who I have bent over backwards and suffered to help.. yet they don't seem in the least bit grateful.. Not that I expect them to - just seeing them achieve what they need to is reward enough.. but don't you think it's odd that it isn't those people who are the most grateful? less
