when your self declared importance to the Universe makes you think the world owes you, that the rules of mortal men and the country don't apply to you. That any form of 'entertainment' is just fine, because you are you.

But it is a moral and legal trap, something to be fought against, something to seek professional counselling on if you can't fight it by yourself.

It's the dark side of ambitious men.
And the list is long - Nixon, Trump, Epstein, Berlusconi, etc.

Of course some like Trump, only have a dark side.
