This really hits home. Not because I have anyone I know with dementia but the thought of growing old and having it. As oyster says, the worst is when they realize that something is not real.

The story was delivered very eloquently.

This was so peaceful. Such a great melody, its a perfect match for someone going through fasting.

He will ALWAYS be Snape.

It was always him. Always.

1. Many like "Dan" feel that they are entitled to earn the same amount as that of their bosses. I can relate to the hard-worker character but it is true what the doctor said, he thinks these titles were given on a silver platter but he never (not once) had the urge to ask whether they struggled through school. Bosses are there because they also had to go through what he's going through. I don't deny that there are kids that do get everything from mommy and daddy. There are many that have never felt the hard-work kind of style.

2. This wife-beater has an inane way of coming off. He has no remorse for his title and the women he's married are sadist. They leave him (and kudos!) but they come back, why? For the pleasure of the bad boy persona? As the doctor states that he's a nice guy and why was it unfair. Many women go for the bad boy because it brings excitement and they thing of spontaneity. Many women don't see that the nice guy has those attributes due to the fact that most "nice guys" don't really show an extroverted side.

3. Again with the "nice guy" tactic. These nice men do have a lack in their step. They expect sex as an exchange for a kind demeanor. Genuinely nice people don't expect anything back and that's a big difference. Yes, many women pass the nice guy, but it's because he shows a lack of pep to his step. Women like to be cooed and to be shown different perspectives, not to see her own perspective being repeated out of someone else's mouth. These nice men just sit and watch rather than to take the bull by its horn ( I am using many analogies...).

All in all, things don't seem fair if you don't step outside the box. Those that go through a whole routine of what's supposed to happen tend not to get what they want. Attaining what you want comes with excess effort. Things may be handed to you on a silver platter but what fun it that?
