That was an interesting read! I think you will be able to demand the impossible only when it doesn't conflict with your moral standards, that is, when it is impossible in some way you can't control. (Thus making it worthless to demand)
wee, not really - i cannot control at all whom i meet, and especially i have no say in the fact that everyone else doesn't even come close. the true impossibility lies in finding someone who looks like a better match than he does, and i don't see how i have any control over that... unfortunately.
fireangel: incredibly enough, agreed. i don't want to start anything with tricks. but i have to check myself, because even if i might not embrace it entirely i still have a predisposition toward strategic thinking.
