| i think i can safely say: there are good guys and there are bad guys. i'm not talking about books or movies either. i think this is the real world. there are good guys. they're more common than one would expect. there's a lot of them in my life. barney, fara7, andy, laurence, ozy... good guys. the bad guys are a different story. it's not that someone is instantly evil just because they're a bad guy. bad guys, people like me, just have a difference in the most basic of tendencies. i'm willing to look someone down and be brutal with them if i don't like them. a good guy would just plaster a phony grin on his/her face and deal with it. the most basic of differences. it's about the will to hurt someone. some people would never hurt anyone at any cost. some people are willing to make sacrifices for selfish gains. maybe that's the most fundamental difference between good guys and bad guys. but it's still not all of it. sometimes, the ones with the bad tendencies, the selfish people, sometimes they don't carry them out. sometimes they've hurt a lot of people without a second thought. sometimes they've made the sacrifices, willingly, completely aware of waht they're doing. i think that's what makes them the bad guys, what seals the deal, what makes it final. once you've made the sacrifice, you can't go abck to being a "good guy". you're bad for life. sure, bad guys may want to make ammends. sure, bad guys may feel remorse and guilt. sure, bad guys may want to go back with all their cold little hearts and bad little souls. but it's too late. bad for life. bad guys and good guys can mix. they can be friends, good friends, especially the "reformed" bad guys, the ones that wanna be good again. but they're fundamentaly different, and one day that ugly past is gonna catch up and they'll lose their heads and the big bad end is gonna show its head. and things are gonna fall apart. that's why good guys and bad guys will always stay different. that's why they shouldn't get involved. that's why i sholdn't get involved. |

moana | Re:, 07-27-04 11:03am you're a sweet heart, thank you. i kinda wish i knew who those people were, but i'm sure that's hardly the point. i'm not ashamed of who i am. it's just a difference in people. sometimes the world needs people like me. sometimes i think, i'm sure, people like me are the only ones that can make a difference. fight evil with evil, right? i intend to. |
