You shouldn't do nothing because you might hurt someone's feelings. Chances are they have no issue hurting yours. Necessary evil if you will. I'd love to change it.. but it may not even be possible. Only a limited number of businesses can exist in any one market. Some will do better work than others. The ones doing the better work will remain and profit, while the others will perish. How can that be done differently? |

I don't like to think of this as a necessary evil. Given the OP's philosophy, I definitely don't think it's appropriate to describe what he should do as an "evil."
It can be done differently. He's not questioning the fact that there's "only a limited number of businesses [that] can exist in any one market." Jh understands that the world is finite. What he doesn't understand is that this concept of "hurting" someone is not real. It's not sports, where the aim is to defeat the opponent (yes that is the aim of sports...I know what I'm talking about there). This is business. If there's too much in one place, go somewhere else. Jh's problem is that he can't go anywhere else. He's stuck in the middle of nowhere because every decision is blocked by an internal rule he has written.
There is no necessary "evil" here, there's just necessary. You have to abandon your train of thought. :) That is, if you want the solution to your dilemma. :)
