"Confusing Kindness with Weakness"

By Alan Douglas

"Beware of the "test." Small children, dogs, and belligerent nations are always "testing" just far you will allow them go. They probe to define the limits you set and the consequences for violating those boundaries. Some relationships exhibit the same dynamics. These probes are often masked under misunderstanding, miscommunication, or confusion. But mainly, the person says they are NBD, "no big deal." Don't fall for it."
