Joe, I have always seen you as a deep well. Someone who thinks deeply about things. But sometimes? Maybe we can overthink things. You know what? I do not care if the other guy wins. I truly do not care. I believe what will be will be and I cannot afford to not pour out my heart when I feel empathy! I can't afford to remain silent although my words may offend or change someone's mind about me. About success...... My family was quite strong, even prominent and they were quite put off by my generous nature as a child. It just was not done in my family, Joe. Yet for me? It was as natural as breathing. To be sincere was to be willing to give away what I saw someone else in need of. If I had it, I had no problem parting with it. I always got the greatest pleasure in seeing someone sad become overwhelmed with joy! I believe it cured many of my own sorrows (which were not brought on by lack of money!). It just helped me to forget about myself!
It is possible that one becomes a sociopath because they cannot grasp the concept of giving rather than taking. Greed can do many evil things to a person. It would not surprise me to learn that greed contributed to the mindset of a sociopath. Not at all.
To not fucking up beyond redemption, no matter what the root cause of any given stupidity!
