I'm going to be dead honest about this: Deep down, I am a despicable person. Inside I'm nearly misanthropic, wishing that everyone would suffer as badly as I have. Inside I would like to see anyone with any shred of self-respect or dignity to be brought down, anyone with any sense of pride to be humbled.-So I make a conscious effort to treat people as well as I can, to try to always have a kind word, to never ridicule anyone, to encourage the efforts of those who try, and to sympathise with those in pain. I've long since realized this about myself. There's a psychological term for it: "Reaction Formation."

Sorry Drowlord. Wish I could agree. But I don't because good is an asset.
I don't actually like being a good person. I think it's the greatest of curses.
