Third Line - you are surrounded by danger and you do not understand it.  Any action will only make matters worse.  Maintain your principles and wait for the solutions to reveal itself.
3 2/2/99 Second Line
Calmly take stock of your situation, and be realistic. When one is in trouble, it is unwise to think immediately of escape unless the causes of the current dilemma are clear. Sit still, and learn what you can.
3 2/2/99 Bottom line
Harm eventually comes to those who let themselves become accustomed to taking unnecessary risks. Like a man who awakens suddenly to find himself balancing on a tight-rope, it is obvious to all but the man himself how he got there. Caught in such a predicament, there is little to do but avoid further recklessness, and balance the current situation as best you can.

Exposure to danger brings good fortune to those who move beyond it. Like boaters passing through white-water rapids, those faced with serious challenges must remain alert; they must take all available precautions; and above all, must keep going forward so as to remove themselves from harm's way. Once the danger has passed, good fortune.

The positive side of danger is that it offers an excellent chance to cleanse the senses and strengthen the spirit. Surviving danger brings with it tremendous reinvigoration, and sharpens the eye and mind for future challenges.

It is reckless to court danger, but critical to inner development not to shrink from it either. Those who respond to danger most effectively are those who are able to establish an inner bubble of calm in the midst of the action. A calm center keeps one rooted in the moment, alert and focused. Courage at such times springs from focused attention, from a willingness to penetrate the moment of danger to its very core, so as to shape it and transform it.

The answer to this question appears quite clear.   There are extreme hidden risks in the situation with P and I'm ignoring them because I can't see them from my current vantage point.  This says most clearly that I'm looking at bailing from O without regard to where I'm headed and what I could be giving up.  It's taken me almost 4 hours to believe I understand what's confronting me.  The frustration though is that I can't seem to make the other situation better.

So likewise in teaching others everything depends on consistency, for it is only through repetition that the pupil makes the material his own.

Since the material I'm presenting is from a class I guess the idea is that I have to go ahead and play out the hand.
