Perspective

I think everyone needs some perspective. In the real world I deal with costly, stressful decisions that impact the welfare of people who use our medicine. At home I don my Super Mom cape and try to teach my kids to believe in themselves and to be good citizens. In my free time I don't want drama. In fact, at home we have a saying, "Drama means time out in your bedroom".

So on the one hand, the shenanigans going down in the SCA are not life-threatening and on the world-scale of events, are minor. However, they bring unwelcome drama to an activity that's supposed to be fun in a sandbox that claims that integrity, honor, and chivalry have value. And it's a sandbox I play in because it's supposedly the one place where my personal value of integrity is the norm and not the exception.

I finally have time to put my thoughts here.
