My son would love to take de debil up on his standard package. There
was a time when I would have too. The things that make love hurt so
much may be the assumptions we make about each others' choices.
Choosing hard regular work and a reasonably secure life looks like
selling out to a 19 year old. Planning on doing a deal with de debil
looks like stupidity and sloath to a 50 somethinger.
And the 75 year old tells the 50 year old to relax and let it run its
course. Them damned know it alls!
