Ah well. Still no monsters IMHO. Maybe they serve a purpose, just like people who speed a bit on the highway are beneficial to the traffic flow.

Ok, you don’t know what Im talking about then. Wait till you deal with one and you’re likely to change your opinion. They’re absolutely nothing like highway speeders or little lies tellers. They are monsters who instead of having scales, hooves and horns, have a very good image, which they care a lot about because that’s what enables them to find victims and enablers to prop them up

  Where ever there is a liar, there is a believer. A believer is not blameless because he relies on trust.

    I heard that story before and it’s nothing more than a self serving idea spread by cheaters to justify their acts. No, cheaters are not beneficial at all but to themselves. Kind people who are also a bit more trusty are holding the fabric of society together. Without trust we’d eat eachother alive (figuratively speaking). And you know what? Im starting to suspect you may actually be a net negative to the society yourself and I’d be veeery wary dealing with someone like you

      Lots of people who appear kind and helpful are mostly helping themselves.

        Am I anywhere denying that cheaters don’t appear kind and helpful? But it’s just surface level shine, they leave a trail of destruction behind that is inimaginable to normal empathetic people. Kind, enpathetic and helpful people that you’ve known for a long time are a different thing entirely, and they too are doing it out of self interest and that is to build a network of trust. The logic is simple. If you help someone today, that help comes back to you one day. If everybody helps eachother it becomes a net benefit for all. Cheaters exploit this system and if I catch them and if it’s in my powers I will punish them harshly.
