Alain De Botton – Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person

Summary:
Completely off topic, but I found this to be enormously entertaining. It's not politics or economics, but as many of you guys are deep thinkers, I thought some of you would enjoy it too.Alain De Botton says the reason why we will marry the wrong person is because we are all really rather very strange. Our friends know about our oddities and idiosyncrasies, but won't tell us because they just want a fun night out. And our girlfriends will say that they now want to broaden their horizon, travel the world, and do different things, rather than say they want to get as far away from you as possible. And our parents know all about our weird little ways, but love us too much to say.Hey, I'm telling you the whole thing and spoiling it, so the above is just a taster. [embedded content]
