Humans are Fault-Ridden

This was what consisted of my argument in Philosophy this evening. Amazingly enough; a lot of people began talking about it and questioning my view. One of the other women and I got into a long-winded talk about how some people are blind to their own faults yet are very quick to point out the faults in other people.

It's egotistical, to believe that you're perfect and blameless. No one is such; everyone has faults and screws up. To say you don't is denial and a flat out lie. If you truly believe that you're blameless and perfect, then you're screwed up in the head and need to come to terms with yourself and get over yourself.

One of the guys said that my statement was my point of view only and that some people don't believe that. Welcome to America; where being greedy and selfish is deemed okay. Why, I don't know, but it has been given grace to continue to exist in our society and breed at that.

The professor seemed impressed with the statement and my rhetoric against people who are blind and have tunnel vision on their life. I suppose that I'd do well as a philosopher - psychology, not so much.

I went out today and bought my own copy of the Chronicles of Narnia; I thought it was high time I had a copy to follow me through life. Considering that C.S. Lewis is one of my main heroes. Speaking of Narnia; Prince Caspian comes out in May: I'm psyched. I hope they make all seven books into movies; Disney's done a good job taking a great selection of stories and bringing them to life onto the screen.

I'm nocturnal; I work so much better at night than during the day. I wish that I didn't have a stupid paper route so I didn't have to worry about lack of sleep. I've discovered that I write best when otherwise alone and when it's dark out and there are no distractions...like dogs barking or traffic outside the window.
