Nobody wants to be around a dick because they don&#8217;t want to be the victim of a dick move, and yet being a dick is often &#8212; but not always &#8212; free from consequence. Rather than being a dick in return to a dick move, sometimes you have to break the cycle by turning the other cheek and accepting that life isn&#8217;t fair.
