... good to see you
What changes our perception of life... if not the people that surround it. At this very moment, I am happy with the people who touch my life. I've had a couple of dents and bruising from the past, but I'm learning that some people are just made to fail... and let them fail me. It only helps me appreciate my good friends and their love even more

What I think, is this: The world is many things, and yet it is fewer things than there are numbers of people. People vary wildly in their makeups (from birth, and from upbringing, I would say), and, therefore, there are people for whom there is no appropriate place in the world. It's sad, and yet these people have nothing to be ashamed about.
Personally, I have a problem with dismissing people for their blindness or unwillingness to seek change. There's just something in them that says, "This is the way things are, and I am already suited for this environment--why should I change?" I guess what I'm saying is that when it comes down to it, almost everything is forgivable, depending on how loosely you interpret that. The only instances where I support vilification are those when people knowingly make immoral decisions (and, of course, these are pretty frequent too--there's a line somewhere in all of this, but it doesn't seem to stay in one place).
Of course, I'm still not sure any of what I said has anything to do with what you said. :-)
I missed the game. On the other hand, the Bucs won another game. About time.

Maybe in time I'll learn to seek with an open mind an understanding of people without discrimminating... however at this time, I find lazy people & people who dismiss others emotions to be a huge disappointment... and should be put to sleep. =) what do you think?

It would be very entertaining, for me at least. I might start watching more TV.
We're left all alone, just you and me?
Child molesters, and abusive people are sick people, I think. I feel that they should be partitioned off from regular society, and treated for their sickness, if possible, but you do have to view them as you would a dog that had attacked somebody: You hope they're okay, but you don't allow them to participate in any sort of behavior that counts on it. Killers, well, I could see myself killing somebody in an appropriate situation (either defense, or blinding rage). I don't think that's a chronic problem, except in people who are extreme cases of abusive personalities, or other unhealthy psychotic makeups.
On the other hand, it's so very tiring having to think about how everything you do is going to make somebody else feel, sometimes. And, sometimes we become diluted in our behavior, as a result--less ourselves, and more the people in our lives. Personally, I aim for balance in this area: I would like to be aware of how everything I do makes others feel, but I would also like to act as who I am. I guess the trick is to make "who I am," a decent man, don't you think? :-)

But I'm not where I'd like to be. Probably this is going to always be the case.

I hope we're never satisfied so we can keep searching for more and better things.

And yes, you make it sound like a nice place. There might even be somebody for me to talk to, in Austin. :-)
