I noticed this about some people. I guess I started observing this behavior after I stopped drinking, began helping little old ladies across the street, volunteering at church, watching my language, well let me see it has been about four years now. I forget, what were we discussing? Douglas
All God's chillins gossa get they needs met, theirs is to display their deeds in front of others, like maybe if they didn't display, they/their deeds would be invisible. So the next question is: do they also need our validation for their virtue? I hope not.

I read or heard somewhere that if you tell someone about a good deed done, it doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when they have been virtuous for longer than you have.
ReplyDeleteWe have found the nexxus of virtuous and sanctimonious...
