Do you give credit when people are brave enough to admit they have… positive traits? Why would someone even bother with saying that stuff?

“Everyone, I’m bravely showing you my spotless record” is really not an impressive showing. Being willing to completely upend your own reputation is.





I don't consider that bravery at all. So no.

I give more bravery points (which are worthless of course) to a whistle blower or someone running into a burning building to rescue the world's most tragic orphan.


Dang, that’s one unbelievably black and white world you live in. The nuance you miss must be book-worthy

I wouldn't know.
