hypocrites, cynics, and optomists

Irregardless of my last post, according to certain truisms:
Money is the root of all evil. Money makes the world go 'round. Therefore, the root of all evil makes the world go 'round.

Since no one was able to aquire the five bonus points I will have to state which movie the line is from. The line was from - (if you'd stop that incessant drumming, I could tell the readers which movie it is!) The Princess Bride. A Rob Reiner film that a few people I know got obsessed over. Wesley says it to Buttercup shortly before she pushes him down the hill. "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

With nearly everyone being a hypocrite after a fashion. The same people that think that end up being hypocrites themselves... as well as being cynics.

A certain Monty Python song comes to mind involving whistling. Optomists are a rare breed that ensure our survival. Thank your neighborhood optomist today.

In the next episode, I will attempt to tell the truth about Mulder's obsession with the Truth.

Faith in mankind? Never had any.

That was a self-defeating statement.

If you do not have faith in yourself, it's difficult to find a reason for faith in humanity.

Like I said on my webpage so many years ago: I WANT to believe in Humanity.
