Being rejected ridiculed scorned ignored is not something everyone can just sluff off and move on from.
All prodons flock together as birds of one feather. They are not acceptable to us and they cannot take it. So well what do they do? Find the most objectionable thing to cling to and that would be the steadfast jacka** who is always willing to oblige those who kiss his corpulent arse and whisper sweet nothings in his ear 24/7. A marriage of likeminded. Host and parasites. Nature nurtures.
