SomeSpinsterI am very principled and independent and don't have much interest in acclaim, but even I have reached the point where my policy is to simply not tell people (even my friends) what I'm up to as many people cannot tolerate even small amounts of dissonance between what they choose themselves and what I choose. My judgment of any third party or any situation I'm not involved in seems to be especially divisive. I am too old and wizened to substitute my friends' morality for my own. I don't need that judgment directed at me when I don't ask for help judging something. Sad realities of life.
Anyway, I'm exhausted from endless years of moral crusades. The kind you don't have to be part of, and which exhaust you when inevitably a deal breaking cruelty happens in your own inner circle. I am gonna rest and spend the weekend alone.
