Don't Fight the Good Fight

Out of this alloy of drink and speculation, I commenced to forge the weapon that one day would turn in its flight like a boomerang and all but cut me to ribbons. ~(Alcoholics Anonymous, page 2) Einstein chose to fight for peace; students align against others, respond to cries "Fight, fight fight!” Nobly answering the call to fight the unbeatable foe or as Christian soldiers march on to Zion, we intuit honor itself as fight. Surrender? With General McAuliffe we yell, “Nuts!” But in recovery we’ve ceased fighting anybody, anything, a position of neutrality safe and protected. Surrender? “Nuts!” Not nuts. Surrender equals sanity. The other way drove me nuts. Lay down your weapons, wave the white flag.
