Janet, let me share this with you. As you may know, your humble servant here studies, applies classic Chinese philosophic concepts to his understanding of life and choice of actions in it. Your situation likely has a fix from Taoist thinking. It goes like this. Do not fight. Be like water. Go around, under, over, but do not confront, fight. Rivers, streams behave this way as they flow to the sea or lake. We can get to our destination without fighting. Think, act like water. Your will find most likely you gain lots of peace of mind this way and conserve your energy for what counts. Think water. Act like water. This writer has found that it beats conflict, and we still get to our goals. Dr. Rux

Permanent Things
Healthy personal and social order depend on a firm, time-tested moral order first.
"The Permanent Things" include the Ten Commandments despite court rulings based on the current fad for Ethical Relativism.
Time-tested institutions
"The Permanent Things" are bulwarks against personal and social deviance and dysfunction.

Permanent Things
Duty, Honor, Country
"The Permanent Things" include sadly human evil.

The themes of history remain constant. They are part of the "Permanent Things."
