For Viv
This is a truth; if you’re a reasonable person and other parties realise this, then consciously or subconsciously, they’ll be tempted to take advantage of your reasonableness (by being a cunt).
Remember, your loss is their gain.
The sole remedy is to inoculate yourself to your own reasonableness. You’ve got to take pre-emptive cunty steps to train others not to take advantage.
It’s unfortunate but true.
