โIf a man is cruel by nature, cruel in action, the mortal world will call down curses on his head while he is alive, and all will mock his memory after death.โ ~Penelope (Homer, The Odyssey, Fagles)
The use of the word CHRISTmas should never be in dispute in this Christian country of Britain.
If anything should be in question it should the over emphasis on foreign traditions.
Every manโs downfall begins with comfort. Ease makes the blade dull, wealth softens vigilance, praise blinds judgment. The disciplined man treats prosperity like a battlefield, suspicious, alert, unwilling to relax. Comfort sedates armies, vigilance sustains empires.
