right, everyone is a liar, because you lie. and if they don't lie, they suck.
this is exactly how all my exes told me too. everyone cheats! if you aren't doing it, you're a chump! and anyone who is better than me, is shitty.
notice how in this, you're always right, and everyone else is wrong? funny how convenient that works out for you.
You've seriously got the wrong idea about me and what I was trying to say to you. I'm not trying to elevate liars, just people, versus the worthlessness of lies and petty truths that aren't helful.
You have suffered because you are too wrapped-up in one of the Three Sieves of Socrates . Most lies aren't worth calling out because doing so is not kind or helpful - particularly the lies that good people tell themselves to get through the day.
I never said you should or had to lie to get by, be a good person, or have a full understanding. I won't even pretend I'm too wrapped-up in the concept of trying to be a good person, BUT, the wicked man still knows what goodness looks like, and I personally dis-like watching good people suffer, almost as much as I dis-like watching "good" people disparage others over something that basically amounts to LOUDLY MIS-UNDERSTANDING THINGS.
au contraire, I am merely a vaguely reasonable person who wastes time begging idiots like you to notice and acknowlege simple facts laid-out by studies throughout both of our lifespans and before. I happened to have learned about some of them before middle-school, and so I've been at this versus self-righteous cretins for a looong time.
How DARE I ask you to make life a little easier for everyone, starting with yourself?
So wait, you mean EVERYONE who has been in a position to tell you anything about your own bullshit, over-the-top reactions to this topic has had the same response? Literally, everyone else is wrong, as you've put it - I'm not the one alone in my world-view here.
Look, if you can't look in the mirror, could you at least pick a narrative? I was bored with your incoherent gibberish days and days-ago. If self-honesty and intro-spection are such hateful topics to you, maybe don't interact with them, but calling people who are honest with you about the potential for dis-honesty out as pathological liars just makes you look stupid, ignorant, and even likely in-sincere.
If I lie, I've committed to doing the work to make it true(the optimist's conceit), at least enough to let the other person pretend they don't know better. When you lie, its because you can't even be bothered to notice or admit that's what's happened. No wonder you're alone.
