Does a partner need to be interesting?

Should they be really be good at something, or they can be just average, as long as they're emphatic and listen?

Boxing Day, the Day after Christmas, has evolved from a day giving gifts to others into the day when people return the presents that they received on Christmas to the store where the present was purchased, for a variety of reasons.

Could be the wrong size, wrong color, they already have one just like it, or many other reasons to return a gift. Or maybe they just don't want it and would prefer something else or the money refunded instead.

Early reports in the United States indicate that the stores are busy today, Boxing Day, with longlines at the Customer Service / Returns Counter.

So, here's the question... How many things did you return on Boxing Day?

I believe so, much more like a techno-dystopia.

We are in an era where we cannot afford homes and struggle to attain even the basic essentials, but we can manage to have smartphones and tech in which our eyes are glued to all day, tuning out what is going on around us.

Many of us are over-worked, picking up entry-level jobs because the middle class is being decimated. Once the beacon of prosperity and advancement is becoming no more. The rungs on the ladder of success and growth are becoming much wider apart.

Meanwhile, the predatory push for the "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" approach continues to thrive, and as people are being scattered everywhere, homeownership becomes more out of reach and land continues to be grabbed up to build high-density apartment rentals.

People have become cold, anti-social, and hostile in public, especially on the roads where it is a war zone. Loneliness and isolation are becoming the norm. Men have become emasculated and testosterone levels are plummeting.

The air is becoming more flat and thin. The big pollinators, the bees, are dying off, and the foliage looks less lush.

We are in the midst of a volunteer firefighter shortage, and as most of the fire departments in the US are volunteer-run with a rise of emergency calls that have tripled, our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. There is less optimism and motivation of generosity to help each other.

The government is out to serve themselves and their special interest groups, while ignoring the needs of the people overall. The government spies on their own citizens and doesn't want us to have individuality or autonomy. The greatest threat to them is living off grid, free of bureaucracy and control. They want you to be their sheep.
