I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.

There are some people who do not have a wild past because being wild would make them terribly self-conscious and uncomfortable.

Sometimes people back themselves into corners where they think they have to make kind of an engraved-in-stone decision.

It's just not right to make an innocent child suffer because of the father's misdeeds.

Sometimes people have a wild past because they have an essentially wild nature, and that's how they plan to go through life. Sometimes such people settle into happy monogamy, and can be content there because they never have to wonder, "What did I miss?"

Interfering, judgmental, and disrespectful mothers-in-law are common complaints.

Never loan money to friends or family that you are not able to write off entirely.
