i was talking to kevin the other day and reminded myself of middle school when i was about 13, when i first came up with my personal philosophy.  i still agree with it and live by it, but it was nice to explain it to someone else from the root because i'd forgotten how simple it is.  it's about being your own person and not suffering fools or trying to impress people; that if you have to lie to people to get them to like you they don't really like you; and all the other social stuff people either fall into or need to defend themselves against:

Be a stronger person or be unhappy.
