In society, we have these unspoken rules of conduct, these 'shoulds.' Even though we pride ourselves on being a democracy, there are all these ways we say you 'should' behave. But what if you're living your life by the 'shoulds' and you're not really living your life?

And one of the rules of good civil society I believe is that you’re respectful of the people who disagree with you. And that's part of what makes civil society work.

Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition. But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn't recognize it.
Dan Rather

Unfortunately, we are a society that does look down on divorce when, ironically, there are more single divorced people in the world right now.
