I Married a Birdman (Prime Mating Agency, #3)

“I’m a medical doctor. I don’t have time for bullshit or mind games. I say it like it is, and I expect the same in return.”

“Since machines could get things built or done quickly, people started becoming more and more demanding, expecting instant gratification in all things and losing all appreciation for anything since everything was readily available without any effort or sacrifice. But there needs to be a middle ground, not a complete vilification of everything that could improve our way of life.”

They believed that comfort made people complacent. Things dragged on too long because no one negotiated in good faith for the first half of the meeting, sometimes even longer. Why would they when they didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable? A cushioned seat, drinks, and maybe even snacks only meant each party would play a game to see whose patience wore out first to try and get the upper hand on them.
