Amusement or vanity… To overthink or overstate
It has been my experience that one can only hope for respect, not expect it. Many don’t even respect themselves, they only appear so. There are allot of illusions. Many expect and demand a chimera. Life is not always what it seems.
As the old saying goes, “If you can’t dazzle them with wisdom, then baffle them with bullshit. Some take a simple sentence as an idiot to insult or the wise to amuse themselves and even with that people find themselves stirring the shit. I guess different strokes for different folks? Even then it can be no different than animals at play. People get puffed up in wisdom to be only full of feathers. I need more books on psychology.
