maybe i was too one-dimensional in the previous post. your goal should always be to have a band where you don’t need such things as strategy or diplomacy. it’s best to just say what you think and be able to trust the others to understand. but sometimes (or better: many, many times) it just doesn’t work that way and you have to deal with the circumstances, whatever they are.

and another point: could you be the problem? to my own disgrace i have to admit that i was the problem – more than once. what can i say, i was young and needed the money :-) you can’t blame an 18-year-old for being stupid. but i evolved and i want you to evolve as well. so just for the heck of it, find out who’s the problem and go from there… and if you’re 18 or even younger, go ahead be stupid and selfish – it’s your right. and the old folks need something to complain about…
