War is a great engine of change, sweeping aside assumptions, toppling established power relationships, driving new forces into play, rearranging long-held theories and challenging orthodoxies.

DEAR HARRIETTE: It feels like my parents neglect to recognize my birthday every year, and it is becoming painful. My birthday was about two months ago, and they didn’t make time to celebrate with me. I shared with them that I’d love to go out to dinner or do something together. After the day passed with no celebration, I told them that this often happens and then I am expected to create birthday plans for all my siblings, which I find inconsiderate. Today is my brother’s birthday, and my dad asked if I had any plans in mind.
