Other people are honest with each other, too.

Two criminals what? You didn't repeat what Dianne said this time.
That's pretty significant, considering that you parroted her lines
every other time.
In any case, so can other people.

As is it also with other people. Your choice of words is poor, Ray.
Attempting to make anything positive into something dark and negative.
Attempting to strengthen yourself while making others weak.
How does it feel to be so weak while seeming so strong?
A large tree is stronger than a blade of grass, yet during a hurricane,
the tree is pulled up by its roots, and the blade of grass just sways
back and forth.
Although the wind has no form or body, it can uproot trees and blow
down houses.
Look at water ... one of the most pliant objects on the earth. It does
not resist force, yet moves around it. It can erode mountains and carve
canyons.
