domestic phenomenon-that all good
women seem to get the mean hus-
bands. and all the mean women ap-
pear TO get the good husbands:
This is not due to the noble and up
right being particularly unlucky in
the matrimonial gamble. Nor 10 it
due to their being particularly stupid
in the selection of their life partners.
Ii is due solely to the fact that they
lack the wisdom, the courage. and
the firmness TO deal adequately with
one of the most difficult and delicate
problems that life offers-and that is
how much we can do for another
human being without running him or
her.
So they have spoiled the men and
women to whom they are married.
and turned those who would have
been perfectly good husbands and
wives into loafers. or tyrants. or
tichtwads. or leeChes.

everyone treats us just as We demand
that they treat US. and that is as true
