Hi Shari,
That's an easier way to grasp it.
The battle is all over except the "shouting" when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

On the topic of battles, we have to choose them, don't we? I slept better, last night, after the J Campbell quote below, maybe because the "mythology" really affected me, since he was a contemporary expert. Some situations became clearer, including a transaction at the pharmacy. It seemed they'd overcharged me, but I ignored it. My "house of cards" just is too fragile to deal with this. What I can do is inquire to find out if they did, and be more careful next time. I also realize that I can always have a "safe" person, if I wished, since I carry a cellphone. That means, I can call someone in a private area, and ask for advice, shortly after a transaction or conversation.
I noticed this on game shows, when people get a "lifeline"!
