Hello there,
Pls help me clarify what the bold text means. Tks.
1) Service of others has gotten a weird reputation these days. We seem to have lost the fun and
spontaneity that can be associated with it. Somehow we now associate it with dreary servitude and shuffling around - a kind of subtle inferiority.
what does "spontaneity" here mean?
2) President George Washington was known for signing all his letters, "
Your most humble and obedient servant".
pls explain the bold sentence.
3) "I'm not feeling as much commitment to my wife as I used to", they will say.
I expect them to hold their stomachs, probing for the pocket of pain that went away.
pls explain the bold sentence.
4) I would show the world who was in control. Not the boring grown-up world that wants me to be places on time. No! I myself was in charge of my life!
I would suffer any embarrassment I could to keep that illusion of control. pls explain the bold sentence.
Thank you!
