Marginalia, Entry 12

[goatgodschild]

From Ryan McBeth's video on the destroyed IHH Monument:

"And also note; that if you are a leader of soldiers, and if you let your soldiers perform acts of spite or vengeance -- congratulations! You just set a new standard! And then it just gets a little bit easier to commit more acts of vengeance, and easier, and easier. And that's a road that Lt. William Calley went down...and I don't know if you want to go down that road! There is a price to pay for being the good guy."

I think this is a valuable piece of advice for anyone in a leadership position, and one that I want to take to heart even in my entry position.
