I see a husband who is taking care of his terminally- ill wife, even though for years and years they have shown a very cold and distant relationship as a couple. Both in their seventies, he tends to her every need, he comes to her bed just by hearing a smallest sound from her mouth. … Continue reading Lessons

Purpose
We learn to use language well, spoken or written, only when we use it for a purpose, our purpose, to say something we think is important, to people we want to say it to, or to make something happen that we want to happen Instead of Education, John Holt, page 105
