Adrants reader Jamie wonders what’s up today with the word “yes” in the Wall Street Journal today, writing, “What’s the deal with pgs A10, A11 & A13 of today’s Wall Street Journal? Hilton, GM and Sprint. All 1/2 or full page ads with the word ‘yes’ big and bold in the headline. Is there something I should be reading into here? Is ‘yes’ the new “it” word in advertising?”

Pure coincidence? Anyone from the WSJ, Hilton, GM or Sprint care to comment?

Research suggests the people society calls “wise” rarely experience it that way from the inside — what feels like wisdom to others often feels like exhaustion to the person carrying it, because knowing how things work doesn’t make them easier, it makes them clearer, and clarity without the power to change anything is its own kind of quiet suffering

I’m 65 and I’ve been called ‘so kind’ my entire life — but I just realized I don’t have a single person I could call at 2am, and the loneliness of being everyone’s safe harbor but nobody’s first choice is something I’m only now letting myself feel

I’m 73 and the regret that keeps me awake isn’t the career I didn’t pursue or the places I didn’t visit — it’s the twenty years I spent waiting for my husband to become someone he was never going to be

The cruelest assumption people make about childless adults isn’t that they’re selfish or that they’ll regret it. It’s the quiet certainty that someone else will take care of them when the time comes, without ever asking who that someone is or whether they actually exist.
