Beautifully described and spot on! The pushback I get though is that by saying it’s “by design” assumes that “some people” are being nefarious and a lot of people seem to struggle with this idea. Maybe it’s time that they open their eyes to the real world but this response doesn’t tend to go down very well! 🤣🤣

Yeah, “by design” points at the deliberate nature of the action. ie. it’s not an accident. It could be for good or bad intent, makes no difference. The example I use in my book to demonstrate this is: imagine you are sleeping and wake to find yourself handcuffed to the bed. It doesn’t matter if was a playful partner or a malicious intruder, you know with absolute certainty that that act of handcuffing your was not an accident. It’s “by design”
