Have you ever felt like other people probably deserve something more than you do? If I miss out, what's that to the world? I am just one person. If someone else is happy, isn't it the same as if I am happy? We are both people, equal and alike, and the value of her happiness is equal to mine. So what is it, in the end? It is inconsequential.
THE OLYMPICS ARE ALMOST OVER?! Waa. I haven't watched nearly enough! At least I saw Usain Bolt run the hundred metres =D
fig. 1. Holy cow!
Good times are sitting in a food court writing a list of 100 things to do before we die. 100 anythings, no matter how improbable or financially draining or faraway. I don't think I could ever run out of ideas (:

LORD ILLINGWORTH: The world is simply divided into two classes - those who believe the incredible, like the public - and those who do the improbable -
MRS ALLONBY: Like yourself?
LORD ILLINGWORTH: Yes; I am always astonishing myself. It is the only thing that makes life worth living.
LADY STUTFIELD: And what have you been doing lately that astonishes you?
LORD ILLINGWORTH: I have been discovering all kinds of beautiful qualities in my own nature.
MRS ALLONBY: Ah! don't become quite perfect all at once. Do it gradually!
LORD ILLINGWORTH: I don't intend to grow perfect at all. At least, I hope I shan't. It would be most inconvenient. Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
