    The older I get the more convinced I am that people are just foul creatures

It's funny, I keep finding new highs of kindness and selflessness to inspire me, and new depths of depravity to scare the bejeezus out of me. I've mostly accepted that as cynically fun it is to say something to the effect of 'People can't surprise me anymore,' there will always be someone, somewhere doing something unexpected. I enjoy finding those people.
