You don’t need to explain a refusal
that corrects an imbalance.
-
If clarity feels cruel,
it is usually because it removes a convenience.
-
Power does not become neutral
because it is quiet.
-
You are not responsible for what you didn’t agree to manage.
Even if you handled it well.
-
Avoidance does not make conflict disappear.
It only decides who carries it.
-
Someone is always holding the cost.
If you don’t know who it is, it isn’t you.
-
Flexibility becomes exploitation
the moment it is expected and not returned.
-
If nothing changes after the apology,
the apology was not the point.
-
Discomfort is not harm.
It is what happens when reality is no longer being managed for you.
-
Intent does not equal accountability.
It never has. Only avoidance benefits from pretending otherwise.
