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.
