Who digs a pit for others will fall in themselves.

Livingwith integrity means: not settling for less than what you know you deserve inyour relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speakingyour truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in waysthat are in harmony

It doesnot do to leave a Dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.
