Just a thought
The cultural idea that "misery loves company" is actually a load of shit. The "misery" expressed in this instance is only vain and self-serving- sort of the "woe is me" complex that people use to fall back on. I have pity for people who feel the need to grasp on to this bullshit idea to excuse their actions (imagine how low their self-respect must be); why can't people just grow some balls and admit when they do something stupid. Ah the wonders of human nature.
