"The greatest regret of a liar is not that no one ever believes him; it's that he can never believe anyone else."

This is a truism that crosses many facets of life, not merely observations on the lie. We all hold ourselves as the primary yardstick of human behaviour when we judge others.

In other words, no one can ever actually tell you anything about you. They can only tell you about themselves. You know your opinions are well-thought out, often examined and tested. We all know it here on DU as well. You can't have posted so long on this website without a well-considered opinion and the ability to re-examine it.

She's likely judged in you her own failings.
