In regards to my September 25 post, the coworker I was going to write about seems to have calmed down a bit. She's still making some not-so-good decisions in my opinion, but I guess those are her decisions to make. It's just a real shame that the students have to suffer for her short-sightedness.

In other news, I noticed a bit of duplicitous behavior in someone I thought was bordering on being a friend. Oh well. I'm certainly not innocent of that charge, so I guess I don't have a lot to complain about.

In T'ai Chi the other day, I noticed once again how everything is circular and how everything flows. It also becomes obvious how the circle can defeat the line. This can be applied to so many areas of life. If someone attacks you verbally, it is often more successful to redirect their argument instead of attacking in return. This is also far harder than reacting to their verbal blows. It can be very satisfying to trounce someone at a battle of words, crushing them with your own witty repartee. Unfortunately, this can also lead to bad feelings on the losers part.

The quest continues for the meaning of this existence. But alas, unless I want to become a sheep, no one is going to tell me how to find it. My quest is my own. Blessed be.
