Rationalized Abdication

"Rationalized abdication is my guess."

"How so."

"A story common to my decades old friends and I is about how 'the system' inexplicably walked on our up-to-then seemingly reasonable expectations of success as a result of doing the right thing.

"This is a very good time to once again invoke the concept of authenticity.  Those who would have you suppress your genuine emotional reaction are asking you to subordinate who you are to some kind of authority.  This is quite often about the worst application of obedience."

"So, can I punch his lights out?"

"No."
