I've been thinking about this board all night and morning myself. I think that this is the week that our humanity really showed. And humanity is like this:

There's a little bit of light in the darkness and a little bit of darkness in the light.
In this board, we've been living in the lightness, promoting it, preserving it, spackling it on occasion.
The problem is, when you push to expand the lightness, the darkness pushes back, to maintain balance.
That's all that happened here. Don't worry. No permanent damage done.
Re: Balance
Aria, well put.
Sometimes it helps to have been raised in Eastern philosophy. I like to say embrace it, accept it. ...the things you like and the things you don't. That's the only way to conquer the things you don't want to be permanent. Resistance always strengthens the opposition.
Although I did let Vanna have it. Learned helplessness is something I cannot abide.
