Brilliant writing, thoughtful and honest (as always).........BUT.........and in full recognition of how little I know, what's interesting to me is how you get annoyed at your psych (quite quickly it seems......) -- strikes me you don't look for the positive/good in him? And yet, ironically, it's his thongs-question which sparked your excellent piece? And I think you are right, too many people have just dozed off on their (life's) watch and care little (which is tremendously sad)...................so that said, never stop caring too much.
But, as an afterthought, maybe that's why you have the psych -- he's the one person you can think badly of? Which is, I think, just plain healthy -- we can't be all good (or, at least, I can't!).
This is quite thoughtful and excellent. And the phrase ‘giant moral dick’ will live with me forever, thanks
