Sometimes there are situations that require human skills to put a person in place. This problem is often not an easy task, given that people are different, and they leverage that reliable influence on some. Others simply do not understand and will not work on them.

These past few years I have been deeply studying and practicing meditation, which shares something with contemplation.
