I always believed that sympathy is for the liars.
If you know the truth, you live with honesty, and you have a clear conscience...
You don't need to tell everybody your side just to feel better.
Believe me, you can sleep well at night.
But to the liars with a guilty conscience, they will tell everybody their twisted stories to gain sympathy.
They will gaslight and bend every arrows.
They do that because they need others to sympathize with them so they can feel better.
They do that because they want others to convince them that they did the right thing... Because they do not even believe in themselves that they did the right thing.
Most of the time...
Those who cannot shut their mouths have the sincerest lies to tell.
