yeah.. when i do hear of those who went against the grain, my
heart is lifted 
there is a story about a daughter of one of mom's friends.. she's
an accountant.. she's going out with a fishmonger.. of course,
stupid parents and all the others around are aghast..
i'm thinking.. huh? he's a hardworking man who is engaged in an
honest trade, making an honest day's wage.. wtf is wrong with those
idiots who are not happy with them? they're happy with each other
and in this world, happiness is in short supply so why are they
making things difficult for them??
i've always figured an honest man who is not materially well-off,
but works hard for his family to provide for them and loves them,
is better than a billionaire looter tycoon who cheats on his wife
and doesn't know the names of his children...
