                 A Dozen Matches.     
Is there a message here for us in these testing times?
         ----------------
Harry laid a dozen matches on a metal tray. They were all the same way up and there was a small gap between each of them.
'Watch this!', he said, as he picked up the first match and struck it.
It flared and he laid it back on the tray. The first lit the second, The second lit the third. The third match lit the fourth. You know where this is going.
But, with the point of a pencil, he pushed the fifth match out of the line.
The first four matches burned and shrivelled until the flames went out. The fifth one - and the remaining matches - remained untouched.
'Sometimes', Harry began, 'no matter how tempting it might  be to join in with all the fuss - the latest fight or argument - it is best just to take yourself out of there'.
'For your own sake, and the sake of everyone else who might get caught up in it, too'.
