can you love two people at the same time? (in a romantic way)
The effective loving of one person would have a requirement of exclusivity. Therefore it is not possible to love two people at the same time...

value
Try your best not to see the world the world through financial eyes. Money is a poor measure of value.

the most expensive parking ticket
a few weeks ago i bought a lee child novel for R30 (a STEAL) from a CNA clearance sale- I started reading it on my last expedition to cape town last week. having met the impossible Jack Reacher in the previous novel, I was immediately gripped from page 1 of the new book, as Jack walked a lonely road in Colorado.
on monday evening i was reading it at the Mugg and Bean @ Greenstone mall. (my 3rd office) - and when i went to pay my R5 parking charge at the pay station, i left the mind-gripping novel on top of the pay station.
being unable to resolve myself to the thought of not knowing what happened next, i had to repurchase the book for a whopping R100.
its amazing what power a story has to consume your imagination - even to the point where paying R75 for parking is a totally reasonable expense.

not the full picture
recently i visited a new church. during the time of singing there were 3 screens available to read the words. the one directly in front of me was the biggest screen with the sharpest display. the colours were brighter and the images very crisp. unfortunately there was a strip of pixels missing on the left of the screen such the rectangle was not symmetrical.
i only realised on my drive home that i spent the whole service looking at one of the other 3 displays even though it was slightly blurry and was at a bit of an angle to me, making the words a little harder to read.
and that's when i realised that we would rather have the full picture than a pretty one. i think that logic applies to more than just choosing what projector screens to look at.
