7. You just made me very sad.

But really, it's partly my fault.

When you said, 'being a human being', my very first reaction was disgust. I have been so ingrained with the notion that humans are ignorant, petty, contemptible creatures, that I failed to recognize that 'being human' should be a noble standard to aspire to.

The sad part is how that reflects on us as a society.

Thanks tho.
