Perry Como had this hit No. 1 in 1949 – where you spot your beloved for the first time across a darkened room during an enchanted evening…
Well, this is 2008, and a real 21 yr old lad spotted his beau across the New York subway. He lost her in the crowd, but set up a website to look for her.
Incredibly, in this city of 8 million people, he located her within 48 hours with the help of New Yorkers still not hardened enough to ignore good old romance when they see one – live.
It was reported in Guardian (UK) that therapist, Mira Kirshenbaum, has in her new book “When Good People Have Affairs” written that cheaters are good and kind people in search of happiness who have made a mistake, and affairs can actually help marriages.
Even more, she says that cheaters should never admit to it.
‘A lot of people confess because they feel they just have to be honest. Well, honesty is great. But it’s a very abstract moral principle. A much more concrete, and much higher, moral principle is not hurting people.
And when you confess to having an affair, you are hurting someone. If you care that much about honesty, figure out who you want to be with, commit to that relationship and devote the rest of your life to making it the most honest relationship you can,’ she said.
Well, so honesty is a ‘very abstract moral principle’, and a ‘much more concrete, and much higher, moral principle is not hurting people.’
Do you agree affairs are good for marriages, honesty is as described, not telling the spouse of an affair is appropriate, and not hurting people by being dishonest is a much higher morality?
