“Preparation to meet our “villain” is the key to good mental health. You should do all you can to prepare for the villain. If you care for yourself, you care for him and he doesn’t have to be your villain at all. The Chinese have a saying “To defeat one’s enemy you must first make him/her beautiful.” That’s what the dragons in parades represent.” -Damien Riley
