Ok. As you have no doubt figured out, I really believe the universe is on its head. So instead of the sky being blue and the grass green, it's the other way around. Because of this, I have had to practice both tolerance and patience. I have talked about patience before and in the past week, mine has been severely tested. There are some behaviors and situations that I just don't tolerate very well and when those two things are combined, I have two options; defense or offense. Both options are preparations for war. In a defensive preparation, I practice patience, build walls and protect my buttons. In an offensive preparation, it's No Holds Barred. At anytime, the preparations can shift. As for my preference...I don't have one. It depends on the situation.
Can you tell I love "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu? Of course.
