I do not think it is selfish to want to donate a kidney "only" to family members.

I'm of the belief that dating "potential" is almost always an exercise in frustration.

o one is right when it comes to destination weddings. It’s a big ask, requesting people take time off work and fly off to take a cruise just to see you get married, and they’re perfectly justified in saying no if they don’t have the time, the money, or simply the inclination.

You are allowed to draw lines even if your feelings are irrational. Part of the marvelous business of being an adult human is that you get to set your own boundaries for whatever reasons you like, without appending a sensible rationale to them.

"Not being virulently and overtly racist against black people" and "treating gay people like human beings" are necessary conditions of greatness.

Not wanting to give everyone in your life one of your kidneys is not the same thing as hoping they die of kidney failure.

Some struggling marriages can be salvaged with hard work and counseling; others should be dismantled and stripped for parts.
