When you compliment others it shows a willingness to acknowledge "special". Unless you lie to con folks. Ulteriorly motivated. SNEAKY?

Let us rather believe compliments given are heartfelt and sincere without ulterior motivation.

Now WHADDABOUT those who insult attack? Are they ulteriorly motivated?

I don't know if you can quanitfy the truth of either one. Do more people LIE when they compliment or LIE when they attack insult?

Is duplicity more rampant among complimenters or insulters? Some think without saying. Afraid to be counted . Timid.
