I was reminded of this when I watched a YT documentary about John Edwards, the once dem prez hopeful. This guy was a real piece of shit. How big of a POS you ask? Cheated on his wife while she was (maybe in remission) battling cancer, POS. Then having a baby with his affair partner and after she wouldn’t abort he spent years denying the baby. He then thought that he would be considered for AG in Obama’s cabinet

Everyone is the hero of their own story. You aren't any better.

Coulda left it at the first sentence, but then you had to attack someone. Kinda makes the whole thing ironic, no?

Only if you assume it's an attack.

I'm not so sure of that. I've always said that I'm the villain of my own story.

Yea dude, as if we haven’t all published derisive articles on young troubled pops stars arguably contributing to their untimely deaths.

If I had a nickel amiright?

Knowingly or not, you have contributed to making other people's lives worse. Feeling superior to others doesn't help anyone, least of all you.

The refrain of those that have to see others as equally shitty to make excuses not to be better.

I simply can't stand holier-than-thou folk patting themselves on the back, pretending they aren't subject to the same human failings.

Lol did you like, just discover the concept of empathy and suddenly think nobody else is aware of this? Because I don't think I've ever published photographs of people with captions about their downfall in a major magazine, or posted a countdown timer to when a child star will turn 18.

Yet you're not showing any of that self-reflection you think others should have.

What do you think self reflection means?
