[Annie’s Mailbox] 배려심 많은 형제들
Caring siblingsDear Annie: My father recently passed away. Dad was helping to support my 43-year-old brother, “Ben,” who suffers from depression and is on disability. Ben doesn’t work and spends a great deal of time in bed or buying liquor and lottery tickets. He’s always just a little bit out of it, and I think his antidepressants, along with his alcohol and drug use, have exacerbated the problem. He’s been under psychiatric care for 20 years, but he is still drowning in his depression. He rece

This centuries-old, typical morning scene is changing rapidly now. Bread, which arrived in Korea through Japan only in the 19th century, is fast emerging as a tasty and convenient alternative to rice.

They say money can’t buy happiness. They’re wrong. At least up to a point. Researchers said people’s emotional well-being ― happiness ― increases along with their income up to about $75,000. The researchers reviewed surveys of 450,000 Americans conducted in 2008 and 2009. The surveys included questions on people’s day-to-day happiness and their overall life satisfaction. Happiness got better as income rose but the effect leveled out at $75,000. On the other hand, their overall sense of success c

Bracing for a breakupDear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dating for about a week. I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship. His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a

Date rape guiltDear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 30 years. Before we met, I coerced a woman into having sex. I did not use physical force, but she did not give consent. By today’s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape.I have never told anyone about this, and there is little chance that we will ever encounter this woman. So my wife will never find out. Do I owe it to her to tell her? I believe that to do so could cause serious harm to our marriage. ― Anonymous and
