I just wrote in my diary, and I read something that I wrote and it just makes perfect sense. Do you think I'm on to something here? (this is directly from the diary)
"I think our conceit and our values come in pairs. My values include not judging by appearences, so I pride myself on not judging. I value intelligence in others, so I must think myself slightly witty. Oh, it's so ironic. What makes us admirable makes us full of ourselves, our attributes can be our own selfish downfalls if we over-appreciate them, and the meager and modest trait that gives you the small bit of confidence that you need can also push you over the edge of pompousness in another sitaution. It actually all makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
I think it's quite a unique way of thinking. Would you agree?
