Because of that act, I have created some cognitive dissonance in some, who definitely do NOT want to think of themselves as capable of hating someone on that basis (or at all), and found a number of people ready and willing to jump to my defense... because Heaven forbid that my expectations should be true!
That said, now that I have revealed my diabolical plan to trick people into coming over to my side... do I now lose their support, and earn their hatred (because no one likes being tricked), or do they stick with me, further convinced of their need to convince me that I am not the subject of hatred, but rather of love and support... because don't we all want to be thought of (and think of ourselves) as loving and supportive people?
And now that I have thoroughly messed with everyone's heads, maybe I'll start seeing some authenticity from people, which is my REAL goal in the first place.

How dare you suggest that I've been "tricked"!
Try this one: You have been shown understanding, love and fellowship. (And no, I haven't read the entire thread here.)
Try to beat that one with your Jedi Mind tricks! (I wouldn't call that Jedi, but Sith tricks.)
Don't mess with me, because my Grandmother's name is Karma!
