You know that “no good deed goes unpunished,” so take a stand and make your voice known.

Stop hiding. Stop trying to get along with everyone. Stop worrying about rocking the boat or tipping over the applecart.

There’s no honor among thieves so even if you play along with the miscreants and the moochers they’ll eventual tire of you and conspire against you, which means you’ll still lose your life but you’ll lose your soul along the way.
