00:00 You are in a party and people start laughing at you.

00:03 You don't even bother to see exactly who is laughing.

00:14 and you lose all your discretion.

00:16 You just surrender.

00:17 Equally, 10 people start complimenting you, praising you

00:20 and you again lose all discretion.

00:22 You forget to check who these 10 people are.

00:27 The central problem is that you don't have high company.
