Thank you! I appreciate your post as well. A good friend of mine [a baptised Catholic] told me recently she rarely, if ever, attends church with her [Lutheran] husband anymore, and then stated the following [which your commentary reminded me of right away]:
“Our parents taught us it’s how you live your life everyday and how you treat people. How do they treat animals? How do they treat waitresses, clerks, etc?”
I thought it was interesting how you both mentioned people (and animals!!) .. (as I sit typing with a cat on my lap).
Ha, cat behind my head! Your friend is so right. Young women can get a good gauge on a date’s character by: going to a store & seeing how he treats the clerk. I was a waitress & will rethink a friendship or at least not go out to eat if they are poor tippers or rude. Animals instinctively know about certain people. They cower, act strange. Check them out around young children. Tell your friend she is right on the money!
Okay, I think this is on topic. Since I've brought up Dante above, in what respective circles of Inferno might you find the following:
1. Bloggers
2. David Bowie
3. Cats
Bloggers are easy. Cats and David Bowie might change places on various days. :-)
