I often find myself thinking a lot about human nature. I think I was always this way, but some of the classes I've had at school etc have only made it worse. Not to mention all the things I read and stuff--like manga. Things like Fruits Basket and The Lord of the Rings and such always do this to me.
One thing that just occured to me is--many people wonder if they're selfish or selfless, and often characters are portrayed as primarily one or the other. But are people really like that? I think a lot of people have selfish desires, but also want to help others.

Foolishness is not knowing any better. Stupidity is having been told better and not listening. Idiocy is having been told, knowing better, and doing it anyway just for the hell of it. --Aliryn
