Polluters don't like you. Ministry of Environment doesn't like you. Municipal councils don't like you. Regional councils don't like you. Co-opted citizens don't like you. Fellow travellors of polluters don't like you. You get blacklisted from local jobs especially in a place like Elmira. You are discriminated against even by local groups desperate for volunteer assistance. Slander and bad mouthing occur behind your back. Others take credit for your volunteer work that you have done. Negativity and skepticism need special care and attention. Trust in strangers diminishes in direct proportion to the manipulative liars you meet, confront, console or get stabbed in the back by.
The plus side of whistleblowing: You develop one hell of a sense of humour. You learn dozens of euphemisms for the word "liars". Irony and hypocrisy become much clearer. You see the humour in everything. Double entendres, synonyms, puns all leap out at you. Your newly found wicked sense of humour is coiled and ready to spring at any opportunity. Eventually both your lie and liar detection skills do improve. You begin to understand people's weaknesses and why they do what they do. You learn the various shades of good, bad, evil and sociopathic.
Despite everything: Hope Springs Eternal
