It makes me a more principled person and independent thinker, I’m not sure it’s always made my life better or easier. My problems with authority have definitely gotten me let go. Twice. And I think I did the right thing, calling out unethical behaviour or refusing to mislead people, but I do think I’ve suffered for it to be honest. And the other side? Little to none!
‘The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.’

Exactly. I have a fixed and entirely self serving belief that without difficult people, society would collapse.
Humbling isn’t it, to know that we can all strive to become even more difficult and unreasonable?
George Bernard Shaw, nice. That used to be my favorite quote.
That’s ridiculous, I refuse to believe it. Some unreasonable people are women and enbies.
