In a way, I ...Devin -- I don't hate anyone, really. In a way, I feel sorry for those who are so self-centered as to believe that they can act this way.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I pay the price immediately -- and in some cases for a long time -- when they act as I've described. Eventually, they'll be hurt as well, but I take no satisfaction from knowing that.<BR/><BR/>There was more than a small element of sarcasm in my saying I planned to adopt the selfish attitude. I couldn't do it.<BR/><BR/>But I wish others found it equally impossible.

I know that I have been pushing this book, but trust me, if you look you will see yourself and be shaken. One line from this book when Ethan was considering setting aside his high ideals temporarily has been imprinted on my heart and one you should consider:<BR/><BR/><I>If I opened up that door, could I ever get it closed again? I did not know</I><BR/><BR/>Just remember that you have to know what is most important to you and you have to be able to look yourself in the mirror at nights. If you hate that type of person then know that you will hate yourself and in that situation who else could possibily love you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-1149866607377393722006-06-09T11:23:00.000-04:002006-06-09T11:23:00.000-04:00Was afraid you'd say that, bro.They must use indel...Was afraid you'd say that, bro.<BR/><BR/>They must use indelible ink with that "rejected" rubber-stamp....MrScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743761169195087103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-1149866375356828532006-06-09T11:19:00.000-04:002006-06-09T11:19:00.000-04:00It applies to them only.
