Meanness can be subtle, making resistance hard.
![“There is no vice, of which a man can be guilty, no meanness, no shabbiness, no unkindness, which excited so much indignation among his contemporaries, friends and neighbors, as his success. This is the one unpardonable crime, which reason cannot defend, nor [can] humility mitigate.” quote by Arthur Schopenhauer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dfe/arthur-schopenhauer-226_crime_there-is-no-vice-of-which-a-man-can-be-g_1328733.jpg)
