| Please. Tell me more. |
1. If you're sitting there telling me that you're blessed with a "silver tongue," may I suggest a more sober self-assessment?
2. Is there a worse curse than to be a Nice Guy? I mean, a curse for the Nice Guy himself. Everyone else finds it awfully convenient.
3. Please don't try to assure people that they can avoid later regret. No one gets to live without regret. If any choice is open to a person, it's which kind of regret to live with.
4. It's like the implicit promise in so much evangelical preaching: that by making the "right" choices, we're keeping a bargain with God that will result in our being "blessed." That's a promise no one can (or should) ever make.
5. But, as is the case with so many things, what we assert is sometimes what we wish were true.
