@Annie I get that. I have had some experience recently where I too decided that it is actually fine for me to say something when normally I would cling to murky principles like "higher road" or "bigger man" and other comparable bullshit to convince myself silence and inaction are superior in some way, even if only to earn internal fortitude points. Silly, really.

And the relief I felt when the world didn’t end as a result of my comment? Remarkable!
