I have a buddy, whom I have mentioned here before, an unusual combination of brain and brawn whose hi-testosterone style has proven a fearful challenge for him at times. People too easily assume that a very gruff exterior and some quite edgy interests preclude a rich soul, a ferociously bright brain and a thought-through code of behavior.
His reflection on refusing to accomodate a very problematic request made to him by a clearly unthinking man:
"I have no problem summoning the requisite lack of compassion,
but I will countenance no disrespect."
but I will countenance no disrespect."
Nicely put, sir.
