How do you know you found “the one”?

I’ll repeat wisdom I’ve repeated before: When you try to imagine going through life without their good qualities, you think, “No way, can’t live without them,” and when you imagine a lifetime living with their bad qualities you say, “Yeah, I can put up with those.” Then you’re ready to spend a lifetime with them. If you think they don’t have bad qualities, you haven’t been together long enough for this decision. If you think you can change their bad qualities, you aren’t ready for a long-term relationship.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
