Did saying this make you feel better about yourself or something?

Because it's a ridiculously naive statement at best. More likely just some sanctimonious BS you decided to post to signal how much of a good person you are.

Like seriously, what world do you live in where you can't picture a person doing something to take advantage of another person? Have you read literally anything in history?

Did saying this make you feel better about yourself or something?

Because it's a ridiculously smug statement at best. More likely just some sanctimonious BS you decided to post to signal how much of an intelligent person you are.

Like seriously, what world do you live in where you can't picture a person thinking that it's sad that a person takes advantage of another person? Have you read literally anything in history?

How meta. You must be a super clever person with original thoughts to add to every discussion.

I have a really hard time trying to understand the mindset of somebody who is going to take advantage of a person for profit. I actively remind myself of this because I need to be aware of this fact when dealing with people who could potentially take advantage of me.

Nobody is asking you to understand their mindset. Recognizing that such people exist does not require understanding their mindset..
