Can I have the next dance

Subject: Can I have the next dance.

Freedom is a starting point not a goal. We are always fooling ourselves we can work towards being free but like most things, it is not an end, only a work in progress shaped by the will to succeed.
With freedom one starts to progress in a direction more to your own liking and although the destination you desired may remain out of reach the journey is yours and no one else's.
And so as we foxtrot our way with an unhelpful partner who seems keen to trip us up at each opportunity, we have to remember we chose the foxtrot over the quickstep in the belief that not only the band knew the tune but that at the end our card would be marked for another dance with another partner.
Brexit seems to be an occasion where married to the chap, we have to dance to his tune. His innuendo and blatant foot-stalling, his claim to want to dance to another tempo without your having had a chance to practice, seems rude and boorish. You were warned of course but the ritual of divorce seems to bring the worst out of people.
It's not the money or the house it's the hurt of past opportunities blasted on the rocks of expediency.
With good will anything is possible but the bad will of divorce only creates hurdles placed as a means to hurt.
Human beings being what they are, are stereotyped and the worst are the political class. It's hard to know a more self opinionated lot other than self serving bankers. We expect them to uphold our best interests but history tells a different story. Opportunists they are out to exploit the situation they find themselves in for ideological reasons rather than find practical solutions. The Party machine has been known to destroy its self through dogma and historical precedent, what chance the man and woman on the street entering their calculations.
