5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It was to care about other's wellbeing. I remember when it clicked, and it was the first moral principle I consciously followed
I have a whole growing plethora of these, rules of thumb I consider in the long scheme of organization. Where would I start if not to ask about stuff?
People either enhance or diminish your life. Very few are neutral.
Treat them accordingly.
What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
If it works for you, do it. Ignore what other people think
Work on diagnosing and fixing the problem first, worry about appointing blame later (if at all).

“First is best”
To avoid overthinking decisions that don’t really matter, the first acceptable choice is the correct one.
Save your indecision for stuff that matters.
I'm sure your wife loves you....
"Babe, why do you only last 2 minutes when we make love?"
"I'm first to cum! I win at sex!"
If you ain't first, you're last Ricky Bobby!
