'5/90/5 Spectrum'


Of all the people in your evolving periphery during an entire lifetime...

* 5% will treat you better than you choose or have the opportunity to
treat them. Your mother or father, maybe a sister or brother as well
as good samaritan strangers along the way will fit in this category.

* 90% will probably treat you about the same as you treat them.
Seems we live in a tit for tat, reciprocity minded, net sum zero world.

* 5% will treat you badly no matter how well you treat them. Over the
years ungrateful children, recalcitrant employees, maniacs on the road
and false friends may identify themselves as prime examples.

Personal viewpoint (which you may or may not share) simply stated...
You never go too far wrong in the long haul by giving the benefit of
doubt and treating others better than they deserve. Virtue matters.

Mate, I appreciate the rigors of your Oxford background, tight knit

family and your courageous commitment to policing the streets.

Believe you may be somewhat out of my league

but will accept your kind invitation with thanks.


P.S. Error on 1/10 ballooned my rating by 50 points.

75 points is not a league, it is but one blunder.
I shall enjoy the conversation, win or draw 🙂 🙂

of course, in both your professions (ex-scientist and cop), you'd have a deep and abiding interest in demanding sufficient evidence to support a claim before accepting it. what's the evidence in support of this claim?

also, by nominating yourself for the 'good 5%', do you mean to imply that you treat grampy better than he treats you?
