The three magical words: “I got this.”- Manoj Pun Tilija.

Of the 16 chapels of Tramulda, Munez had one last request to fulfill to please the GODS. To kill his beloved. Without a moment of hesitation Munez, slashed Supan’s head with his macuahuitl.

Munez: Bring my beloved back to life.
GODS: So be it.

Does that mean becoming overtly cautious about offending someone?
No, absolutely not. There are some aspects that must not be compromised no matter the price.
If it offends someone, it's their problem. Don’t take it personally.
The discussion sprung when discussing Skin in the game. One should not be able to transfer risk for one’s benefit. He should be more prone to the risk of his advice-giving.
