re: #222 Cato the Elder

A friend of mine on Facebook recently posted about a book called “Closure” - how to get it.

My reply: The book may be great, but I hate the very word “closure”. It’s for fairy-tales and movies. In the grown-up world we have the law of suck-it-up. “I need closure!” I screamed, so she obliged and slammed the door in my face.

Couldn’t agree more. I can’t tell you how many people have said to me about one of their relationships “I need closure”— by which they mean something that the other person has to do for them.
Closure is something adults achieve on their own. By sucking it up and moving on. No one can do it for you.
