Self-justifying mechanism

Man is an amazingly sophisticated self-justifying mechanism. And watching this process is pure pleasure!

A drunkard, having put two words in rhyme, considers himself Charles Bukowski. A fat and lazy girl imagines herself as a model for Pieter Paul Rubens. An emigrant, who escaped through dark alleys of a burning country, thinks that he is Ivan Bunin. A pogromist, sweeping jewelry from broken glass cases, believes that he is Che Guevara, and this loot will benefit the poor.

Nobody is fond of philosophy, but give the villain a couple of minutes, and he will come up with his own teaching, in which he is the standard of morality.

The Road of Good is lined with paving stones, under which the skulls of the enemies of humanity lies, but a person will not go that way, no. He will stomp his own path: through the mountains, through the forest, through the swamp, through walls, through cities, and will never even turn around along the walk.

Well, go ahead: it’s not a soul there!
