You are burning bridges and taking others as collateral damages in the process.
There is a point you get to, and it is imperative you ask yourself, why am I here?
I’m not talking about life. I’m not being philosophical and I’m not talking about the age-old question of why humans exist, or why you, in particular, were created.
And by the way, what if I don’t like you? What would you then do?

It is why technocrats tend to make decisions that lack empathy.

In truth, I am not against the bad guys. I also hold no grudge against those that love them. My beef is against those that have issues with the nice guy.
