My wife recently told me that one of my most irritating character flaws is how gullible I am. I couldn’t disagree with her more. I wonder if she said that because she was in a bad mood and bored that we now have a fairly normal life compared to her life before met. Here are just a few of the things she’s done. She used to be a spy for the CIA all over the world. She landed two commercial jets as a passenger, after the pilots got sick during the final approach. She worked for NASA in Houston and at Area 51. And she told me because our marriage is so important to her, that she never wanted focus or discuss any of those things again after our first date, because it might make me feel inadequate. And to prove her genuine concern for my feelings, she demanded that all of the organizations deny that she ever worked for them. Currently, I am very impressed that she has secretly been counseling scientists on how to create an effective vaccine for Covid-19, while I sleep at night. Now, just because she has such an impressive resumé, doesn’t mean she has the ability to discern character traits. And in my case, I still believe her assessment that I’m gullible is baseless, without merit, and way off the mark.
