• Altruistic
• “They had it coming,” or “They deserve it,” or “I’m just getting my due”

off• Test the other party• “Call” the tactic• Ignore the tactic• Discuss what you see and offer to

What Choices Will You Make?Ethics, too, are nothing but
reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental
principle of morality,
namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting,
and enhancing life,
and that destroying, injuring,
and limiting life are evil. Albert Schweitzer
