re: #470 Lincolntf

Being popular is the easiest thing in the world. Just don’t stand for anything and nobody has any reason to object to you.
Make tough decisions and hold firm to your principles and you’re bound to be “hated” by a whole slew of people. I’m sure Barry will be popular in Europe for a long, long time.

Lincoln … exactly … it is like when parents say … I want to be my child’s best friend … being a parent is having your children not like you sometimes … you are the one who has to tell them “No” when they want to do things that are not good for them … it hurts a little when they say they don’t like you … but in the end they will love you more for being strong … the whole “if it feels good … do it” … thing … way overrated …
