[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things are not always what they seem. Our kids are Honor Roll kids. We are deeply involved at church. We have a gorgeous house. But our marriage has been on the rocks for awhile now -- too much time devoted to work,  sex life died, resentment built up. [b]No one sees any of this. Your friend might have way more skeletons in the closet than you realize.[/b] And why bother wasting any time worrying about them anyway? Be good to you, for you...[/quote]

And they might not. And that should be ok! This kind of thing always comes up in posts like this and it makes me shake my head. Guess what people, there ARE a lot of genuinely happy people in the world! Not everyone is secretly fighting an addiction to alcohol or has an abusive marriage or an extramarital affair that they're hiding in their closet (ahem, Big Little Lies). We ought to be able to be happy for our friends, even the ones who are super privileged and blessed with all the good things in life. If you can't be happy for your friends, then you're not really friends to begin with, are you? [/quote]
