Truth-telling is a difficult high road that sometimes requires confronting deceptive and abusive people who have taken the easy low road of truth-repelling.

This rotating of the map gives others the impression that the abusive person or organization has taken the difficult high road of:

pursuing revenge
rejecting reconciliation
