A short-term solution served its purpose, so change tactics. This isn’t the same problem you faced weeks ago. Time to take a fresh look.
A loved one starts to let you in on what’s been going on. The information won’t make you happy, but this person confiding in you will.
People often are drawn to what-might-be rather than what is. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to sell them on the reality.
Shift your position vis-a-vis a hotly contested matter. The tide of opinion has changed and you don’t want to be caught in the crosscurrents.
You gain the upper hand in a feud, but where is it going? Perhaps the defining victory lies in putting an end to it.
It’s up to you to draw the line. You hate to say no, but you’ll regret it more if you say yes.
