Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.

Now I just have to learn how to balance never knowing with getting way too neuronic about it.

For what it's worth, you don't sound like an evil overlord just yet.

Oh. Don't worry. I don't think I could ever be evil overlord material.

I lack charisma of that magnitude. Or of any magnitude.

Lacking charisma doesn't mean you're boring. It means ... you're selectively enthused.

That's a good way of putting it. Makes me sound more discerning than totally lame.

I read a lot. I should be better at spinning words like that.
