You know, I had included "enemies" in my first draft, and then deleted it with the intention of creating a separate post about that--so I'll include bullies, beasts, tyrants and tinpots in the next week or two. <br /><br />Certainly we learn as much or more from getting our noses bloodied as we do from having people butter us up.
