Two Bad

If your car won't start because your battery is dead, adding a second dead battery won't start the car.  Right?  Obvious?  Then why do so many people whose life is a mess, pair up with another person  whose life is also a mess, in the hopes of getting started on a better life?  People tend to pair up with like people.  Addicts go for addicts, for instance.  Not only does one's life not get better.  It gets worse.  Whenever I think my life is falling into chaos, I try to find people who don't have my chaos, and who have found out how to live a smoother running life.
