Sharing my opinion on whether a one-line-one-account or a multi-line account is the way to go on the Slice Mobile Community:

Even for the loneliest of the lone wolves among us, the need for multiple lines can still very much be a thing. Speaking of which, I quite like how SMARTY goes about managing multiple/group accounts.

All human bonds, all human relationships as I tend to see them, fall into two broad camps.

1. Transactional. Which doesn’t necessarily mean cash changing hands, although that counts too. Any relationship built on what is essentially the business logic of very measured, minimal give and maximum the-world-is-not-enough gain. The “you scratch my back, I’ll maybe think about scratching yours… eventually” dynamic. Negotiations and renegotiations. Non-stop scanning for a better deal. You get me?

2. Spiritual. This is when someone wants to build a single, lifelong project called “The Rest of Our Lives” with a kindred spirit, signing up for the long haul and staying in regardless of hardship or outcome. Wanting the project to succeed, yes, but remaining in it, come hell or high water, not just for the dividend report. Commitment tied to the person, not the outcome.

Well… the vast majority of relationships are transactional. Not a tragedy, rather the default setting. Totally normal, human nature at work. This is how we are built.

Depressing points (if any) are either the pretence and deception (transactional relationships sold as spiritual) or the hypocrisy, when those in transactional relationships stigmatising others in very similar arrangements as immoral, merely because the commercial element of the latter’s relationships is less disguised and more candid.
