@leeart - Yes I think some people tell tall tales for attention, and maybe to feel 'worthy'. Many people do that, but some too much.

Other people who cheeat and steal are worse I think. I think they do these things because they somehow want to get a thrill 'getting away with something'. Others are lazy and don't want to pay or work for what they have.

Yes, I have met many people, maybe becaused I traveled so much. But once I find out that someone is actually doing these this, I not longer associate with them. I don't like people like that.

Thank you for reading and taking the time for your detailed comment!
