I never could let go and see it as a game - me, my life, my livelihood - that's mine to play with as I choose - but I never could bring myself to treat things which were damaging to others as a game.

You make one little ethical compromise after another, and you become that which you once sought to oppose.

It's actually the guy who tried to hit me in s meeting I have to thank - I saw a vision of myself after another decade.



I don't think it means he takes ethical compromises. The things you described weren't unethical - chasing invoices, raising rates, telling people off for unprofessional behavior - but they are still emotionally draining to some, whereas to him they weren't.
