On Quora this a.m., one line stood out for me: “Identify the danger point, then step back a couple of steps. Do not play that game.” All of us make statements, consider options, stay just behind the line unless something seems right, otherwise no.
“I was with a start-up company where there were a lot of young professionals (office staff). There were quite a few married young women and single young men. The women were married to basically blue-collar men. These men did not come up to par with the young men in the company in terms of pay or sufficiency. This does not bode well for their marriage, but it was not a total deal breaker.
The second part is that they started to flirt with the men in the company, and they flirted back. I used to call it dancing on the line (between what you should be doing and what you should not be doing). It depends on your vows, your strength, or your integrity to protect you from straying. A dangerous dance. It did not work; they slipped over the line. All that does not work, it takes the smarts to not play, to not dance, to not slip over the line.
Identify the danger point, then step back a couple of steps. Do not play that game.
I too mourn the destruction of the Crystal Palace. I’d love to have seen it.
Presumably it was bombed by Shia terrorists, was it?
9. Four and a half, that many? We had one last Thursday. Same consistent grey since, no sign of any weather in the cloud, no variation in colour or movement to be seen. Totally unnatural.
