“You’re a much better person than she is – Just take the hit – We know she’s wrong – but hey – in the interest of harmony…”
Have you ever heard this one?
Maybe as a kid?
“After all you’re the oldest…”
Or as an adult?
“You’re smarter (wiser, more sensible…) so…”
What does this actually mean?
The good guys get penalized? The stronger you are the more hits you should take?
Yikes! Is there something wrong with this picture?
What do ya think? Have any stories to share?
