That is how you get Enron and generally how you get involved in fraud. That is how you create atrocities. Social approval from peers comes first, lines are moved, always because something that is approved by friends.
It is not about slipper slope, you are not falling, you are simply consistently making decisions based on what people around you approve. If you dont have lines, you dont have values. You are just doing what is easy or socially approved right now.

I hope so! It would be too much for someone to figure this out all by themselves. Should lines have been set in 1500? 1800? 2026?
- coldtea 7mo agoThis is also how you get a romantic relationship and friendships: you stop being uptight about everything and treat the other as a stranger, and start being more relaxed with bounderies reserved for strangers. A lost art today, where narcisism is "everybody else is toxic" and boundaries for everything is the norm.
- watwut 7mo agoNarcissist do very well with and around people without boundaries. The contact with a narcissist is exactly the situation where you need them the most. Also, in fact, you can have friends and boundaries. If you cant, you need therapy.
