an existential one...
Faced with correcting someone which may result in goodwill vanishing, or retaining the goodwill....which would be important.
Today, faced with this, I chose the keeping of the goodwill....errors or mistakes can always be worked out, solved, corrected.....but goodwill once lost, may be difficult to win back......
As in all problematic or difficult situations, force yourself to put some space between you and the problem/situation/even person, maybe......makes the perspective clearer, and we find there are more choices and options...
