"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life through conscious endeavor." - Henry David Thoreau
Well I'm the sort of person that believes that the ideas of Truth and Freedom are actually kind of important. It is possible that I possess a somewhat overdeveloped sense of justice, but choice and consequence always seemed to go hand in hand to me. My current personal beliefs align most closely with Epicureanism ethically and Libertarianism politically.
I think too much. Living in my head can make me depressed sometimes. I also have a dark sense of humor and I am prone to foul moods, which can result in me being pretty severe with people. Although that is balanced out by the fact I'm a big softy at heart. I've found that emotions may linger but don't really last.
I'm smart enough to figure things out, but dumb enough to not notice that some things happen over and over and over again. So I'm skeptical about everything and I probably should be. Pride gives me the stubborness to deal with a lot, although it also prevents me from giving up when I should. I have found though, that eventually everything seems to work itself out the way its supposed to. Whether we like it or not.
Every so often, I let myself care. It is a terrible habit. I also occasionally exhibit an irrational faith in the future, sorry. I hate fear. So I try to act with the confidence of a man who has never known defeat. That can be a bit of a stretch though...
I'm easy to understand though:
Just a happy kid, stuck with a soul of a sad punk
Often bored, sometimes lonely, and mostly just lazy
Overeducated yet undermotivated
Good natured but ill tempered
Tired of living and scared of dying
Don't get me wrong, I still consider myself pretty lucky. This life ain't half bad for the most part.
