Proposition

I was propositioned by a married man last night. He's in a position of authority. 

I told him kindly that I didn't want to be involved in helping one person break their promise to another person. 

It made me feel strange, but also then relieved because I realized:

(1) I don't have to buy into the false choice of either accepting his offer or disliking him.

(2) I don't have to be angry. Firm refusal doesn't require emotions.

(3) I don't have to feel disappointed in the world. I already knew that people did that.
