Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Situation in which a character must attempt to balance or choose between two (sometimes more) mutually exclusive obligations, desires, ideals, etc.; failure on either front would be disastrous, but it's equally impossible to please everyone.
