I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous- everyone hasn’t met me yet.

Most wonderful lawsuits have a wonderful villain.
At the core of the human spirit resides a natural hunger for justice. Most people will readily forgive someone who makes an honest mistake, or who does something inadvertently.
Those who choose to do wrong are judged more harshly. Generally, the more outrageous one’s choices, the more severe the verdict. One’s actions are usually the key to determining what is going on in someone’s mind, and is a window into what lies within their soul.
Our sense of what is fair is heavily influenced by the offender’s conduct. Few things excite those of us who enjoy trying cases quite like a despicable liar or cheat. If they are mean to puppies, all the better!
