They Promoted the Guy Who Stole My Idea and I Have to Sit Next to Him Every Day - a story about anger at injustice

When someone wrongs you and gets rewarded for it, that fury is not a flaw — it's your sense of fairness working. The real choice is whether that anger shrinks you into bitterness or pushes you to show up with more integrity than before.

“Anger at injustice is itself a form of compassion. The question is whether you let it burn you down from the inside, or whether you channel it into becoming someone whose integrity cannot be stolen.”
