Social Agreements

Fiorella and Husband went out to eat this evening and she started thinking about how wonderful it was that they could order their steak dinners and be trusted to pay AFTER they had eaten all the evidence.

Then she thought about how most people obey traffic laws, not because a cop is riding their tails, but because they consider it the most logical thing to do to avoid accidents.

And she thought about how people will rush into burning buildings to save complete strangers.

And then she thought that maybe there's something to this civilization business after all.
