The one who is never around is always the perfect one without flaws.
Close proximity to people will expose you to their flaws.
And we have the tendency to value someone whom we haven’t seen their flaws over the one who is always available and accessible.
The one who is never around is never wrong.
Value people, most especially the one who stayed!
– Pope
Prime concern
...ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do. ...recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most.
