It’s simpler than that: you haven’t gotten dirty yet. You haven’t lost anything you care about. You’re still a child, with a child’s belief that playing fair and working hard will protect you from anything. Because nothing has gone wrong, you think that’s proof you’re right. But the question isn’t whether something serious has or hasn’t gone wrong. Something always does, sooner or later. The question is, who will you become once you get dirty?”
