So, I would like people to be kind enough towards future people and
pay huge attention about what words we are using. I think it is better
to get one thing and be 100% content rather than to get two things and
be 50% content. It is not the same, because this other, unwanted thing
a whole year except this one day when he went around, picked a
passerby randomly (including his family members) and broke his nose,
then I could call him few words, but kind is not one of
them. Actually, describing such guy as "kind" smells very much like
Stockholm syndrome.
Ok, I d
bout it.
You are very kind (ahem!) but I emulate realist on this issue: some
peple will want to know, the rest will think it does not matter.
