About This Quote
It is so easy for people to tell you only the good things about themselves. It is so easy for them to perceive themselves as perfect and wonderful without needing to see any flaws in their actions. This also applies to those who want to convince you that they are the victim of another person or that another person is at fault. You should never take someone’s word as truth unless it is confirmed by other people as well. If you want to know the truth, you need to find out what’s really going on and be able to hear both sides of a story before passing judgment on it.
