All's Fair...
Hmm, my life. What's been going on? Well, not a whole lot. I graduate in a month. That's my closest big deadline, but with every paper deadline, it doesn't feel like it's getting any closer. It's kinda scary. I'm waiting for a couple of emails back from friends, and I hate that waiting feeling.
Is it just me, or are people in this world just getting more unreliable? It feels that way sometimes. I don't know how else to put it. When I try to count the number of people that I can rely on, I come up with a depressingly small number.
People wonder why I'm a Scorpion. I don't. I value expressed loyalty more than anything else. Most of the people I admire and respect the most are those that stay true to themselves, however they see it. I may not like their values or views, but I respect the strength of their convictions.
Yes, that's it. Conviction. If you put it into Exalted terms, Scorpions would have high Conviction. Mental fortitude. The ability to carry through with something, no matter the cost to ourselves or others. If half the world has to burn to save any of it, what choice is there, really? I don't suffer from guilt so much as remorse. It's not that I feel that I've done anything wrong. I wish quite often that I would not have to do what I do. Some people feel that if others force them to do something, they have no real involvement in it. I mean, it's like:
Guilt: "I wish I hadn't done that."
Remorse: "I wish I hadn't have had to do that."
I'm much more the latter than the former. Ah well. I have to go do the clothes. I'll talk more later.
