boring predictability.
Does anyone else find the predictable insufferably boring? I suppose in a melancholic way, it can be reassuring. Mostly for fear of change and moral clarity.

I am currently preoccupied with coming up with a good argument for DH to drop his phone contract. There are so many reasons why it would be good. Not only good, but consistent with his goals. I think he’d listen to the objective reasons. But, it does feel much better to connect over his personal ideal.

I’ve found more clarity on my own goals, ambitions, standards and boundaries. I think it’s quite something that the majority- and I mean vast majority- don’t care about boundaries or standards. Even as they acknowledge their lack of respect for boundaries, they plow ahead in order to meet some narcissistic need. Moreover, they admit to their fundamental inability to reciprocate.
I realize now that reciprocity must be the guiding standard to all interaction if my goals are to be sought consistently. Only through reciprocity can I be assured that I have standards that are accetable, and and I am meeting others’ standards. It is the most basic requirement for meaningful interaction, I think. And it ensures that my standards and value are ever elevated.
