I'm not snarking coinin. I just realize that the mentality in her comment is part of what I think is wrong with the world

I think helping that person is the right thing to do, too. (BTW, what alternate universe did you and I grow up in? Because as much as it was the "greed is good" eighties TIMEWISE, I suspect you and I grew up in something very different, values-wise... which makes it not an Asian thing, because if you met me, you'd see my family haven't been Asian, at all, for a good 20 generations, if ever. Which is just an observation, mind you, not a statement of "OMG how good aka white am I?" I don't buy into that kind of crap.)

TIMEWISE, I suspect you and I grew up in something very different, values-wise

I think part of it is due to my parents' influence (as least for me - unless you know something I don't! hahaha) and partly due to my inclination to see things in black and white terms. "Good" people make certain decisions and "bad" people do the opposite.

You know, I'd say the exact same about myself. I'm easing off on the black and white thing as I get older, but well, yeah. :/

Yeah, time and life experience are mellowing me out a bit, but my tunnel vision still comes out a lot in my rants. I'm working on it!

We are all just works in progress...

We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand...

I'm going to run away before you can throw something at me.
