Denial Quote by Pamela Meyer

“Cultists do not want to admit they have been manipulated by charisma. Nigerian money scheme victims do not want to accept that they had been swindled. To accept those realities is to accept their own faults. Denial of our own weaknesses is something we all suffer from time to time.” quote by Pamela Meyer — Download Open image
