awakenings the fourty-fifth

Citizens, don't be ashamed of yourselves or apologize tomorrow, when this curse wears off. Instead, take your own words to heart - you each have something to be proud of, even those of you who are silent today or don't believe that you amount to anything. You do. Two months in this City has taught me that each and every one of you is among the most

Smug.

[i_themagician]

Nothing wrong with that.

[shanghai_lotis]

You had me going until the last line.

[i_themagician]

I'm sorry?

It could have been worded better, I suppose.

[shanghai_lotis]

It's still a good message, though. Good words.

[inbetrayal]

There's a difference between being proud and being overbearing.

I don't know---- There's nothing I could------

And I somewhat doubt that everyone has something to be proud of, no matter their paricular gifts.

[i_themagician]

True; the behavior of the population at large today might get a bit grating if it were to go on for more than 24 hours, but I'm looking forward to almost everyone having a healthy sense of self-esteem tomorrow. How could they not, after all, assuming that they're not falling over themselves apologizing?

I think they do; they just don't realize it.

[inbetrayal]

Most people probably will be falling over themselves apologizing. Either that or busy being embarrassed, judging by some of the posts on the Network. I'm glad I wasn't on the receiving end of this particular curse.

...Maybe.

[i_themagician]

They shouldn't; it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Definitely. ♥

Sayin' you don't need 'ta brag, Clow-san?

[i_themagician]

Exactly~.

[oodzuchi]

Isn't that braggin' in its own right?

[i_themagician]

Well, yes.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[foxy_physician]

That was very inspirational. Until that last line made me rethink that.

[i_themagician]

Perhaps I should have kept that part to myself.

[foxy_physician]

Well, I am certain that the curse would not have allowed it, ne?

[i_themagician]

True~.
