Thank you for speaking up to your coworker.

Here's another Dave Hingsburger essay (from last June) that I keep going back to: Throne of Shame:

Maybe that comes as a surprise to others who don't really understand that when someone says 'too proud' they really mean, 'not proud enough.'

Because people with pride stuff their ears with bright blue hearing aids, sit down in florescent green wheelchairs and have their hair dyed purple to match their walkers.

People with pride live out.
