Sometimes, after long talks, I take some time to think about what was talked about. A common themes in recent conversations has been about family, & how one stays connected, & whose responsibility it is to maintain the relationship, & is it truly worth it if it's one-sided. I'm sure people talk about this all the time in different contexts than family. In any event, one of these conversations was about someone who seemed to only be interested in staying in touch if it somehow benefitted them in terms of things - gifts for holidays, birthdays, for the children, etc. In any other situation, this person didn't seem interested - as if there were no reason save for material ones to be close to another.
In short, this person was described to me as "greedy." & being me, & always thinking about radio shows, I wondered, "Are there enough songs about greed to make a radio show?" The answer is yes - an easier answer to the question posed above about keeping such relationships alive.
You can hear all about greed tonight on Self Help Radio from midnight to 3am Portland time on 90.7fm in town & online at kboo.fm. & don't be greedy - there's plenty of radio for everyone.
