your judgement judges you and defines you

As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.

When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell a story: the plausible disappears at the same time as the friends. You let events flow by too: you suddenly see people appear who speak and then go away; you plunge into stories of which you can't make head or tail: you'd make a terrible witness.

Besides one should not believe that the people only want reading that is easy to absorb.
