"I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul."
Something weird happened to me today. I was talking with someone about certain geek subcultures and my issues with them and then that person signed off before I could start a proper argument.
So I had the argument with myself instead. All the way from my apartment, to the bus stop, to the postbox where I dropped off my census form, to the library, to the English building, and back to my apartment. In my head. It was a pretty good one too- it was about false dichotomies and the things that divide us from other people.
The long and short of it is, I somehow argued myself into really liking everyone. Because my side of the argument would have been hypocritical if it wasn't motivated by genuine goodwill towards humanity, I've come down with a nasty case of general benevolence. That's right- I'm capable of radically altering my worldview to avoid being wrong.
This has happened to me before, and while it's weird it generally doesn't last more than a couple of days. You should take advantage of it before it wears off is what I'm saying. Comment on this post and I'll say something kind to you.
