If you think the person who will tell you the truth here is the type of person who always sleeps well at night, then you’re a fool.

The people who always sleep well at night will just tell you the comfortable lie while stabbing you in the back, or other you into being the bad guy and them the good guy no matter what.

The reality is, bad things sometimes happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. And sometimes people do smart things that don’t work, and dumb things that do.

Sometimes, because it is what needs to happen. Othertimes, just because someone thought it was. Or by chance.

And at the end of the day, someone has to make that call or break that tie, or the world stops.

And as nice as that would be sometimes, it rarely is possible.

Often, the better alternative (long term) for everyone is ripping off the band-aid sooner rather than later. But, sometimes, people won’t let you.

If you’re lucky, they’ll take ownership for their part and do what they can to make sure it’s as clean as possible, eh?
