It becomes natural like a snake sloughing its skin periodically, L_S! But does it? Any act of free will need not be repeated... Acts performed for survival at a given time do not have to become a basic aspect of personality, even if Josh feels the woman he married was innately depraved, it is not proof she was and always is. Acquired characteristics do not become inherent, we all have to learn to read and write. Morals and ethics are acquired. Fucking random people can just be as much of a bad habit as smoking, though both can be extremely dangerous. Indeed fatal! The problem is that new Kimmy now seems to be more comfortable with wanton behaviour. But much behaviour is circumstantial... So once we find out the circumstances... then we... then we... (not them, but us, the Heisenberg principle)... Though your point is still a very good and valid 'observation'. Yet we are the measure of all things that are... and are NOT!

2024-08-13 22:07:23 +0000 UTCShe talked about taking too many "shortcuts" when she first left Josh. But if the lesson she's learned over the past year is you just have to find the right shortcuts that work, then that's probably not a great sign for her, or Josh if he ultimately follows along. You can have "everything" but at what price? What intentional (or unintentional) consequences resulted from your actions? Generally, when you compromise yourself, there are consequences, even if you try to ignore them and power through. We'll see though.

2024-08-13 14:50:18 +0000 UTCThis explains Kimmy very well, Wayne, and is a great parallel to how things sometimes happen in our real world. The challenge is, it's easy to say "that's not me" in the moment, and act like every moral compromise that was made to get ahead doesn't matter because it was just a means to an end. The issue is, just like Kimmy, that compromising person is always in there and always will be. Kimmy herself has said "I do what I have to do." Someone with that outlook will *always* have that outlook, push comes to shove. When everything is right, it's easy to say "I'm not they person, I'm not doing that anymore." So what happens when the situation changes? Kimmy has show she doesn't change. She just "does what she has to," and manipulates the outcome until it's what she wants.

2024-08-13 11:29:03 +0000 UTCThis book, and particularly this chapter reminds me of a personal occasion a couple of years ago. I was invited by my brother to have dinner with him and an old college friend of his. I recognized it was with a girl he seriously dated after high school. While we waited in a crowded uptown restaurant, she pulls up in a private town car. She waved, then spoke to the hostess who promptly escorted us into a quiet private dining area. To make this shorter, she shared that growing up in our community with limited means bothered her. She was intelligent, witty and sociable. After college and not getting the opportunities she hoped for, she changed her strategy. She admitted she opened her legs to open boardroom doors. She lay on her back to gain access to a level playing field, that she knew she could succeed in. She admitted it was fun, having a career, limelight and liasons, but she knew it wasn't really her. She said she knew it was something that would run it's course and it did. Now she is a very successful, ie wealthy executive that provides her with everything she could hope for. She explained that middle management is the "good ol' boys club", but once you reach the penthouse suites, the playing field is pretty much the same, just different titles . She now is retiring at 43 years old and she with her new husband will likely never have to work again if they choose not to. I joke if they get into trouble they could just sell her 86 foot sail boat! Maybe Kimmy was doing just that all along. Different chapters made it clear she didn't like Devlin. He was a means to an end. She was a pro bono immigration attorney. She knows what it looks like to just get by, and it is obvious that she resented those with prestige and power. She told how she stole from those that had it. Now, she has Devlin's position. All she needs is to have her family to make her life complete. She loves Josh. Now she needs to show him. Stone Sr is just an occupational formality to keep her career. She needs Josh, because he is what made all this worth while.

2024-08-13 02:09:49 +0000 UTCOr it’s just KT teasing us. If they are together, they’re probably not prancing around naked in the backyard in Unionville. But it does feel like that is a question that needs to be answered, among others.

2024-08-13 02:09:23 +0000 UTCWell, I guess this answers the question on if they're still together or not.
