Amen.

Seriously, though, my view of life tends towards "Hope for the best, plan for the worst."

Well, I don't have a motto or anything like that. No goal I'm working toward.

I just kind of live from day to day. And try to do nothing too evil.

Actually kind of sucks.

That's the thing, it took me a while to figure out that "Don't be an arsehole" just by itself tends to make things kind of boring. I'm trying to gravitate towards "be awesome" which unfortunately is something I haven't quite got the hang of yet.

Many of these are pretty good, and line up with my own philosophies. I don't believe all people are evil, I think individually people want/try to do the right thing, they just may not reason through all the repercussions first. Collectively, people can be easily swayed to evil-- we're most dangerous in herds.

I've never peed in a sink, although there were times I was almost desperate enough.

Mostly, I bear in mind one thing-- grudges, retribution, and/or vengeance usually isn't worth the energy on the type of people they are usually directed towards.
