That's fairly normal. People are often strange. They often want or are
afraid of attention, or both. Many have at least one strong belief.
Many are arrogant at least when their strong beliefs are discussed,
some are always. Most people are fairly honest but not so many to the
extent that would require careful reasoning. People who think that
other people are liars are more common than liars.
