The degrading, deteriorating experience I had at “The Guardian” for three weeks in 2007 in London is something that will not be repeated, and I feel relieved for it.
Every day passed like a lead weight and I couldn’t do it again. It’s no small boost to be told it can’t happen to me again. It’s something I can use to increase my learning.
The observations I made aren’t for the feint hearted. The people there lived graphic lives and only had explicit insights to share.
The deflation of their activity relieved a lot of people, besides. In spite of the struggle, the personal trial was worth it for that value.
If it helps people, I believe it’s important to bring it to an end. This is the type of community ethic that can help us survive. It’s the one that means we thrive.
