I've kinda noticed that too. People who lie are always paranoid that others are lying to them. People who cheat are paranoid that others might cheat on them. People who gossip are paranoid that others are gossiping about them. We always assume that everyone else is just like us. People who wouldn't ever consider doing it would also never consider someone else doing it to them. Unless they learn the hard way of course. But yeah... it seems to be the trend.
Wanna know the disappointing part? I was never comfortable with the fact that she dumped her fiancee for me...I never even accepted her affections until two years after the fact.
...A young brave came across a stream whilst walking through the forest. At the edge of the stream lay a coiled snake, shivering in the cold air, looking to the opposite bank. As the brave place a foot into the stream, the snake looked to him, and said, "Are you crossing? The air is cold, and the water is colder, so I cannot cross. I can find warmth in the underbrush on the other side. Would you take me?"
...The brave frowned, and replied, "You are a snake. If I reach for you, you will strike me, and I will die."
...The snake implored further, "I will die if I do not reach the other side, so I would be foolish to strike you. Please carry me to the other side." What the snake said to the young brave made sense, so after a moment's hesitation, he reached down and picked up the snake, and began to carry it across the stream. As the brave continued, the snake's shivering grew. "Young warrior, the air is even colder over the water. Please hide me in your shirt."
...Again, the youth reacted on instinct. "If I place you in my shirt, you will think I am trying to eat you, and you will strike me, and I will die." But again, the snake assured the brave that his own was dependent on the brave's act of charity, and the young man, placed the snake into his shirt, against his chest.
...As they reached the opposing bank, the brave knelt and released the bottom of his shirt near the ground, allowing the snake to go free. As the snake slid to the ground, it immediately turned and struck the brave on the hand. The young man gasped and looked at the snake in horror. "I do not understand! You promised you would not strike me!" as the snake moved towards the brushes for warmth.
..."You knew what I was when you picked me up," replied the snake, as the youth breathed his last.
