No one returns the same after witnessing such great disrespect that even the eyes doubt what they see.
When behavior does not match the promise, when the path being followed contradicts our principles, when a lie unfolds right before our eyes, or when an offense is deliberately crafted as a test of our resolve, a feeling arises—one that urges us to intervene, to stop such foolishness so that things may proceed as they should. But it is an arrow already released. It cannot be retrieved. There is no turning back. And perhaps, Nietzsche’s words explain it best:
"I’m not upset that you lied to me; I’m upset that from now on, I can’t trust you."
This is what we feel, in conflict with what we know. But maturity has taught us whom to listen to. The mind knows that one must be cruel to oneself so that others will not be cruel to us.
It takes cruelty to kill with indifference what desires to live in our hearts.
