Speaking for the human race, some of us just want to meet a friend we feel superior over to make ourselves feel better for a while.

  One of the Laws of Power is to have a "harmless vice" to display your faults. It makes others feel more comfortable and secure around you, especially if you're a high achiever, when they can see an obvious flaw.

    > Laws of Power These laws are outrageous! Thanks for sharing. I will keep my eyes open for people acting contrary to these laws.

      Your comment made me find the book, "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene, judging from law 46: "Never appear too perfect". It's not classified as fiction, but it's gotta be satire, I mean, it's good, but sprinkled with many antisocial and toxic behaviors. I guess the people in power prove these laws are realistic, definitely adding it to my to-read book pile.
