A very critical analysis but also pretty much on point I think the majority of people I run into have that kind of mindset and its unfortunate. I agree that they convince themselves that it is how it should be or that they right for the way they react. Very little introspection, everyone looks outward and not inward because if they did they would not like what they see.

I like that "tried and tested" I feel people should be put through the ringer, loyalty and trust is not given its earned
