We're all addicted to it. We secretly thrive off this stuff. It makes us self-validate whilst inhibiting our own personal growth by saying, "Well, I may have my skeletons, but at least they aren't THIS bad." And the cycle continues turning us into creatures that live off of others' misfortunes so that we may never have to finally face our own harsh realities, the shadow within us all that is capable of doing the same thing as the people we put ourselves above when we engage in our fantasies of moral superiority. We are all beings capable of the most evil deeds, and our continuous unacknowledgement of this truth will eventually lead us all down a path we would never see ourselves taking. I am done with this delusion.
