Nut Rage Incident People work so hard to achieve a certain social status and earn people's respect.

It seems like she is determined to push forward all the way to get away with her charges by using all of her resources and connections. Why do these people never accept their mistakes and do their time in jail? Why do we have to see them get away with their charges and feel resentful?

Nut Rage Incident

People work so hard to achieve a certain social status and earn people's respect. However, once they get to the point that they are able to exert any power with their status, they are bound to do pretty much so. Somehow, that makes them empowered and there doesn't seem to be a way out of it. I think that's why more and more power-driven crimes have been committed all over the world.
