Back in my younger years I didn't know what it meant to be a Good Person. I mean, I knew in general what it was to do good things, but I didn't know about Good People or Bad People. I thought I did, but certain things I did in jr. high and high school make me know now that I really really didn't. You can't be a Good Person if you still do Bad Things. I think what I didn't realize is that being a Good Person doesn't necessarily come naturally. In fact, for 99.9% of the world it does NOT come naturally. Those for whom it does come naturally are blessed, though chances are they don't even know it. There is a very large percentage of Bad People in the world who truly believe that they are Good People, and these people are dangerous. I used to believe that I was a Good Person, but something happened to me recently, this year, that made me realize that in the past I had not been a Good Person. I had been a Bad Person who desperately wanted to think she was a Good Person but didn't understand that being a Good Person isn't something that Just Happens. You have to Work for It. You have to examine yourself and how you treat your fellow man. You have to ask yourself why.

And for the love of Jeff, stop thinking about yourself all the time.

Have a happy holiday season, everyone. Don't forget to let the people you love really know it, for tomorrow you may die.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go wash some dishes.
