“You can neglect the whole world, but don’t neglect your mate.”  I don’t know exactly where that quote came from.  I know it is a paraphrase.  I do not even know how good a one it is but anyway that ran through my head today.

The thought that came to me right away is we can spend so much time on our jobs or outside tasks and neglect the person we live with.  No one hears as an epithet, “He worked hard and long at his job.”

Sure it is important to do well at your work outside your house but never neglect, in the process, the one closest to you.  Rather neglect your work than her/him.
