Click hereI ran into Brian at a coffee shop one day, and we sat down. I apologized once again for my behavior, but he waved it off. "It's in the past. Let's keep it there."
Instead, we mock complained about our children and spouses for half an hour, shared a small kiss, and went our separate ways.
I thought about it as I watched him receding down the sidewalk. The old adage about cheaters never prospering came to mind, and I knew it was false, at least in my case. Yes, I did a terrible thing, flush with self-entitlement and arrogance, and I did suffer for quite a while. But in the end, I think the pain I endured helped me to be a better person. I like to think it reflected in my marriage and my relationships to all the people I held dear. I used the experience when counseling the younger people I worked with, hoping my story would make a difference.
I grinned as I felt the envelope in my pocket. My gift to my husband for our upcoming anniversary, two weeks at one of the most exclusive resorts in Thailand. Sun, sand, clothing optional. I didn't have the rock-hard body of my thirties, but I worked out and was voted one of the top three MILFs at my hospital. Jeremiah still looked at me like I was a hot young thing and I wanted that never to go away, so I endured the pain and tried to ignore the ravages of time and nature, as long as some of the ravaging was by him.

While I do agree that fictional news agencies would have seperated the story from that potential baggage, the "cnn is trusted by o one except har core leftest" spout would put you as leaning into the close minded hard core right leaning spectrum.
If you are well enough removed from the labeling game to rationally begin to label the big three (fox, cnn and msnbc) then it is obvious that it is: fox - hard core left, msnbc - hard core right, and then cnn - varying degrees of centrist, of course factoring in variances to the shows and leading faces personalities.
Now, does cnn seem to lean a bit more right? Duh, of course, but there is an easy and rational reason why and it is in the nature of the excessively wrong hard core mentalities of both sides.
Hard core left is blinded with the very moral superiority based god complex that is touched on by this very story where they focus on those select 'morally superior' (to them) facts and don't factor in many of the even most basic broad stroke ones - so that they get blinded by their own rightnesses and the right wings own wrongness to see that they are endin up wondering mostly alone waaaaaay out in left field to where they are hardly still mindful of the ball game.
Meanwhile, the hard core left does the same thing, but with the methodology of treating any conflicting facts as opinions instead or just 'fake news' and wallowing excedding hard into rosy tinted nostalgia and willful disillusionment.
So to complete the circle, of course cnn would seem to lean (at least some) towards the blindly self rightious, arrogant left extreamist that can still be reached more potentially and quickly than the nostalgia mired, willfully ignorant right extreamist. Real journalism should be goal oriented towards anti-ignorance and thus the leanings of who can be enlightend.
That said, I'm not pro cnn or really into any non-stop news networks, because if it's a choice between quantity or quality I'd rather have quality. And while I won't say there isn't quality in any of the big three listed it is surrounded by a whole lot of quantity to be lost in the masses. And of course, even the more centrist of the three being cnn doesn't mean they 'get it right' more often, because absolutely noone gets it right. The absolute, complete and unvarnished truth of even the most smallest scale of stories can never be reached, but working towards impossible goals can lead towards greaterthings.

Anonymous7 days ago@ ‘xhristianj’, I just read your latest diatribe. You evidently despise everything this author writes.
And yet you keep on reading his work. What does that say about you? Hmm?
Good story, Q, thanks for posting it here.

kalash77720 days agoI really enjoyed the story. This is something that it is already on LE where the husband is losing his wife to Doctors without Boarders, but this one is much better b/c the author exposes this organization and what it does to families of those doctors. Well done, thank you!
