Trust but Verify

Find people that can make you laugh and enjoy their company.  P.N. called today and we exchanged jokes, teasing and wit.  When he asked me what I thought about the MOU with Iran, I hedged by stating that with 47 years of distrust how can anything on paper be certain.  

P.N. agreed and said one of his friends felt the Iran war was like a marriage - no rules :)  

 

I added to the humor reflecting how so many marriages involve cheating also.  Most marriages also have a mutually assured destruction capability - the red button nuclear option.  We all know which button to push at anytime.

Attempting a shot at positivity, we both agreed that a best practice in any marriage is "trust but verify".  That is probably the best chance at a peaceful resolution of this conflict.
