About This Quote

This quote is about how dangerous it can be to have someone in your life that you can rely on. If that person is someone who will make you believe anything, he has the power to make you commit atrocities. It’s important to know who you can trust and who you can’t. An example of this might be if a person wanted to get you to do something bad for them because they are in a position of trust.
