It's about compassion, not only for others...but for yourself. It was a real eye-opener for me. "Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.

It is amazing how closely the messages in this parable mirror the advice given in this forum: - Find the good in a bad situation. Use it to learn and grow - Get outside of yourself - meet new people and do new things (GAL) - Do the opposite of what got you into the bad situation (180's) - Build a vision and start acting on it (act as if) - The valleys in your life are your fears. Face your fears. - Turn your valleys into peaks (PMA) It should probably be required reading for us all. Me 42, W 39, S8, S6, S2 M 11y, A & ILYBNILWY 11/08 Walking away from a bad situation.

It's still cheaper than the price I paid for "Oh the places you'll go" - which is even shorter. Me 42, W 39, S8, S6, S2 M 11y, A & ILYBNILWY 11/08 Walking away from a bad situation.

A short "Cliff Notes" version can be downloaded here - also pretty useful: http://w2.byuh.edu/alumni/chapters/documents/crucial_confrontations.pdf Me 42, W 39, S8, S6, S2 M 11y, A & ILYBNILWY 11/08 Walking away from a bad situation.
