Nah. There are a couple of people I will never forgive, not necessarily for what they did to me, but to members of my family.

In that case, Alan Paton reckons you can't 'recover'...

I thought I recognised myself in the mirror this morning, but the face was too old & the beard too grey & straggly to be me.

Re: Quote of the Day
Quote of the Day - 26th January 2024:
Robert Christopher Lasch ) US historian, moralist & social critic who was a history professor at the University of Rochester.
He sought to use history to demonstrate what he saw as the pervasiveness with which major institutions, public & private,
were eroding the competence & independence of families & communities.
Born June 1st, 1932 – Died February 14th, 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this the original wording of the usual "Nothing succeeds like success" ?
Or has Christopher added a couple of words to adapt things ?

There's proven success and assumed success, and even proven success isn't always what it appears, which is why conmen can do so well.
