There's no law against reluctance....

.....In fact it can often be wise to be cautious.  (Did I just write that!!!  I definitely need another cup of tea.)  It would have to be asked, at such times, whether in your desire to avoid upsetting an apple cart, you are leaving an awful lot of rotten apples to fester at the bottom of the pile. You can argue that it doesn't matter as long as you keep putting fresh ones on the top. But sooner or later, you are going to end up overwhelmed by the distinct smell of cider vinegar.

Don't put off till tomorrow, what you can do today.

We automatically adopt the mood of any situation, until we have learned to master our own minds.
