On Practicality

by Jeph Johnson


My mantra of living logically:

"it's not who's right, it's what's right"


...can backfire in a relationship.


Living practically says:

"Don't worry about what's right.

If you are right, keep quiet."

"On Marriage"
by Ogden Nash

 

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.
