akirluI Am A Bad Person. This is established.
But say you were someone who ruthlessly cut off and eliminated from your life every single person who held you accountable for past crimes (yes, theft and embezlement are crimes), and virtually everyone who even knew about them. Would you say that the fact that the people remaining in your life held you in esteem was solely because of said remaining people's wisdom, goodness, and trustworthiness...or might it also owe something to their ignorance of your character in toto, and possibly their unwillingness to hold you accountable for things you had done to other people? See, I'm kinda thinking the latter. I'm also thinking that someone who does this and then says "I'm so wonderful because All My Friends Wuv Me So," is dishonest or deluded or both.
