Dear Reader:

More than 4 years since the last post on this thread: my topic was “Why do people lie?“- some people lie so to re-write history in a way that makes them look good, which entails making another person look bad. The logic goes something like this: the more I make the other person look bad, the better I look; the more I Lower the other person, the more I Uplift myself; the more I Downgrade another person, the more I Upgrade myself.

This is how parents often treat their children, this is how a romantic partner often treat the other. This is how one group of people treat the other.. downgrade the other via lies and exaggerations so to upgrade oneself.
