On this site, I am generally regarded as a callous, malicious, insensitive, captious, snobbish egocentric that enjoys nothing more than tearing people down for my own validation. That's customarily the opinion of those who are only acquainted with my reputation, and who refuse to even attempt to reaffirm its truth. I do posses some of these traits to a lesser degree, but they are not the prominent aspects of my character.

I do believe in striving for perfection. Granted, no one can ever obtain perfection in any aspect of life, however relentlessly seeking self improvement is perhaps the most meaningful thing any person can do. You should never be entirely content with who you are as it is detrimental to your personal growth.

I do not believe in the concept of equality. Yes, all people are created equal; however we do not remain equivalent to one another once we establish our identities. In a world where equality is the norm, there would be no room for excellence or individuality. Our actions define our worth. If they didn't, we would all be the same as a pedophile or a rapist. This is not to say that we all shouldn't have similar rights, just that no two people are ever equals.

My life is far from perfect, yet I wouldn't change it. In spite of all of sins I have committed and the horrors that I've seen, I refuse to self pity. Acting pitiful and self loathing leads to nothing and prevents one from evolving. Without all the trauma and error, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

The written word is an art form, one that I appreciate deeply. It's almost depressing how few genuinely grasp that word choice and flow is significant to the presentation of oneself, and how seldom it is for the population to care. Language has seem to take a back seat to image and reputation.

I prefer to think in relative terms rather than absolute ones. It is my belief that there is no universal "truth" and no global conscience. Every truth we hold is true in our reality; however it may not be true in someone else's. It is an important truth in my reality as it reminds me not to expect anyone to accept the principles that I do.
