2. What are your weaknesses? I tend toward certain destructive, self-destructive patterns of thinking that can at times spill over into my actions and treatment of others, I don't accept help very well, I can be a bit egocentric/arrogant to some people, and the unknown terrifies me to the point of being quite selfish

GETTING DEEPER
5. This or that
Knowledge or Imagination: Knowledge, I have "imagination", but I put a lot more stock in knowledge
Justice or Mercy: Justice, "was my mother merciful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in the womb?"
Bravery or Revenge: Trick question. Revenge is bravery.
Rule or Be Ruled: Rule. "But when you're staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, what's the difference?"
6. How would you summarize your thoughts on life? It's crazy at times, but it's the only one we've got, so make it good one.
7. What is one life lesson that holds a lot of meaning to you? My pain is just as valid as those suffering half a world away with greater maladies...not more or less.
8. What is your order of importance: Power, truth, freedom, Power, truth, freedom.
9. If you could do something illegal without any consequences whatsoever, would you do it and why or why not? Probably. Not that consequences have ever stopped me before...aside from, like, murder. No consequences? I'd be hard pressed to not do it. IDK if I actually would though.
10. What is one figure (non fictional or fictional) that you admire. Why? Miss Piggy. She is who she is and doesn't let people tell her differently. She doesn't let a few shortcomings stop her from doing what makes her happy.
