After a while you can understand the way that things can go wrong in people's lives; you learn all the patterns and the temptations; you recognise the ways people use other people.
The glamour of corruption disappears; the learning is no fun anymore. You don't want to waste the energy, so instead you learn tolerance, and compassion and love - and distance - and these are hard words for me to say. All of this is hard for me to say.
