Actually, quite an astute observation. You are totally correct. Everyone wants the benefits of having such a person in their lives but no one wants to try and become that kind of person for others. Selfish really.

Do you really think it takes no effort to be like that (other than him just acting like himself)? I think it takes TONS of effort to be Doug in today's world.
