Here's the tall and short of it: I'm an asshole, I know
that. Things that I say hurt and offend people sometimes. And sometimes the
things that other people say hurt and offend me. The difference is that I don't
show it, because I don't want things to be about me and my feelings. I'm not
like most people in the world who worry so much about what people think of them
that they put on masks and fake personas and go out of their way so that people
will like them or approve of them. I know how that makes me look, but I also
know that I am a good person. I'm not a murderer, or a drug addict or a rapist.
I don't drink or smoke or snort away the rent money. I do good things, things
to help people, complete strangers. Not for me, not even for them, but because
it's right. I'm not going to apologize for who I am. I have a purpose in this
life that is bigger than I, and bigger than people's opinion of me. And I will
not compromise that or my beliefs for anyone. Lead me, follow me, or get the
hell out of my way.
