As I look around I know families with brothers and sisters that hate each other, I ask myself why? Often it ends up this way over inheritance. I have decided too many parents do not promote Christian thinking when you are supposed to be caring and forgiving. But I think most parents do not instill in their kids to be givers and not takers. Teach your kids at an early age to take cookies or something to an elderly person or someone that is experiencing grief and expect absolutely nothing in return. This world has gotten to be “me, me, me.” When I was growing up you would never see anyone taking a picture of himself. Now people take 15 different angles holding their phone way up high posing with every sexy look with never a thought of, “Oh I hope that doesn’t make me look vain.” This past week in the cattle business has been quite a ride. And that roller coaster was heading down leaving some sick at their stomach before they could get off.

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

The proposal is perfect and the ring is terrible. When do you say so?

Your partner proposes with a costly ring chosen after months of secret planning. You love the proposal and want the marriage, but strongly dislike the ring you would be expected to wear every day. Returns are possible for one week.

How much honesty can a loving gesture reasonably be asked to survive?
