VanPersie

Everyone thinks that they are smart, that they are witty, that they are generous, kind, good. Everyone thinks that they know the truth about themselves, but how many of us do? How many of us have been tested? How many of us really know, how many of us can really admit the dark secrets about themselves.

The truth is, you can't. Everyone wants to be the hero who saves the day, but until the earthquake happens, you just don't know whether you'll be the sniveling train wreck of a person that people have to carry out because your mind won't get past “oh my god what's happening.” Everyone thinks that they would be the benevolent and generous ruler, but until you are put in the position where you can chop someone's head off with impunity, you just don't know how fun chopping off heads will be.
