Bureaucracy develops the more perfectly, the more it is 'dehumanized', the more completely it succeeds in eliminating from business love, hatred, and all purely personal, irrational, and emotional elements which escape calculation.
Max Weber
The debt you carry that has nothing to do with money is often the hardest one to name because it was never formally agreed to. You took on someone else's disappointment, their unfinished argument, their need to be right about something that happened years ago. What makes it a debt is not that you asked for it but that you keep paying interest on it, adjusting your choices around the edges to avoid the conversation that would settle it. The cost is not dramatic. It is the small tax you pay every time you choose your words more carefully around one person than you do around everyone else.
