    If someone says they don't value improvement, and they feel no shame at all in the refusal to take part, there is no reddening of the cheeks as they refuse the relationship, then so be it. I'm not sure I would believe them.bert1

    Such people tend to be smarter than most.

    Just thought of something. As Eep, in the animation flick the Croods, tells her father, "there's a difference between living and not dying", it appears that there's a world of a difference betwixt "living" and "not dying" and that being the case, we should expect or it's assumed that there are different reasons for "living" and "not dying". Dying is more painful I suspect than living; hence, people "...choose to go on..."

    Bear in mind that people's compassion and generosity are not infinite.
    So be careful how you appeal to them.
