PALM BEACH GARDENS — Dovid Vigler is a schmoozer. Oy, is he a schmoozer.

He can riff on war, explain how Alfred Nobel changed his image, discuss soccer or reincarnation and, hardly stopping for breath, read his own ads.

Why Successful Individual or National Relationships, Cannot Depend On Love Alone

Obsessed With Love

Some people are willing to do almost anything to be loved. Our society lacks no example of ridiculous cases in which cravers of love are willing to strip themselves of their innermost dignity to desperately attract the affection of others. The recent ‘balloon boy’ saga, ‘kiss cams’ at sports games, lavish lifestyles or simple, yet bizarre human behaviors, all shout the same message: “Please love me!”
