Advice
Does it bother me that I don’t always get thanked for what I offer? At first, maybe.
Then again, I’d rather be honest than be appreciated, if it has to be one or the other. For example, when I tell someone that the world is a cruel and frustrating place sometimes and they can’t afford to let the tiniest cruelties and frustrations get under their skin all the time, especially when dealing with their friends — well, advice like that rarely elicits a “thank you” or even a smile, but it’s the truth as I see it. Take it or leave it, I can offer no other.
