Flip sides

I am a good person.

I try not to judge or stereotype.  I always consider arguments from both points of view.  I am nice to everyone I meet until given reason not to be.  I listen to people when they talk, I don't just hear them.  I'm not wasteful or frivolous.  I find three good things in a person before I find one bad.  I can get along with almost anyone and make them feel comfortable.

I am a good person.

But I am an awful person.

I lie.  A lot.  I steal and cheat and generally disregard the law.  I can be extremely selfish.  I tend to hold grudges.  I get hurt easily when people mistreat me, even if accidentally.  I can be cruel and two-faced to the people I do not like.  I can destroy a person with my words and I have little patience for those less intelligent than me.  I hate children.

I guess this is humanity.
