I suppose, when I took an inward glance at myself, I may not have looked deep enough. If push came to shove, I would probably fight for my survival. At least, as far as other people go. Even when it wasn't necessary, I've done bad things. Bad. And I'll never admit to any of it, lol. Granted, I'm not that same person anymore. But I imagine that part of me never completely died, it's only dormant.

This reminds me of a car accident I had when I was around 18 or so. It was very nasty. And when I'd describe to people what happened, a lot of people had the "I would've done this" or "I would've done that" answers. To which I replied, "You can't say that. You can't know until you're there. There is so many things I can look back at and say 'if only'...but I didn't do them. And it hurts." I guess this rule applies here too, until I have the ability to 'read' I'll never really know how I would react. I can speculate, and I can make semi-educated guesses, but that's it...only guesses.

And I agree whole-heartedly, it would be a sad day indeed to find out that everyone's motives are purely instinctual, only concerned for themselves. I 'think' this is true now. But to 'know' it would be a different story. As long as I only think it, then I still harbor hope. I think hope is one of the things that does seperate us from animals.

And you're so right, when the chips are down, people change.
