Many divorces are caused by the complete dependence of the female. At first there is the strong sexual attraction that sometimes masquerades a love. Everything goes well until the first financial crisis jars the man’s confidence and threatens the woman’s security. The woman can’t help. All she can be is dependent, because that is what she has been trained to be. Instead of standing beside the man, giving him encouragement by contributing her own efforts, she becomes accusatory and sullen and the sex drive that passed for love is no longer enough to satisfy either of them. If we begin to think and respond as capable human beings able to deal with an even enjoy the challenges of life, then we surely will have something more to contribute to marriage than our bodies.

But we do know that commercial airlines never are established until several such experimental flights have been made. Each one adds its little contribution of knowledge about weather and flying conditions, and those pieces of knowledge fit together to make the total which must be had before air routes.

COURAGE
Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows is not knows no release
From little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.
How can Life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare
The soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay
With courage to behold the restless day,
And count it fair.
