It's okay to be the one who was fooled and deceived. It's not okay to be the one who did the fooling and the deceiving. Our world is dying partially because of this. Just because someone does it too you doesn't mean you do it back to them, or else they'd win. And you don't want an enemy of yours to win, now do you? We all get deceived from time to time. Heck once, I, someone who hates furries a lot, was beginning to become friends with someone who was a furry, and they seemed nice, except they hid from me and the rest of the Discord server a life of...let's just say that there are people out there who do things that honestly I cannot bring myself to speak/write about. Certainly that deception is going to compound my hatred for furries in general. Meanwhile, while it is true that you don't look at gift horses in their mouths, you do have to look at other things like perhaps if they could carry a person or not, and whether or not it's actually a structure filled with warriors that want to get to you in your sleep. Oh, and last of all, do be careful what you believe on the internet, because there are beginning to be tools being made that can fake the tiniest details, meaning eventually people could post videos of Trump saying things on stage that he never actually said before shooting people with a gun that he never actually was anywhere within a hundred miles of. Humanity would most certainly collapse if people could prove things that they cannot, under ordinary circumstances, prove. Fact checkers would quit their jobs because they'll realize that instead of being at least 50% right, they'll be no more than 1% right on everything. If HAMAS can make it look like Israel is nuking other countries, we're all screwed to the dust.
