Default Really deep thoughts
I just came up with this as I was thinking about my friend... and I ended up with a "deep thought".

If it's a person's own nature to always try to be someone they are not, is it possible for them to ever "be themselves"?

Thats pretty deep.



I got one...

Why do bunches of people run from a shark when they see one, if there is a bunch of people, and one of that shark, wouldn't it be easy to just attack him and kick his ass?

Being themself is just that... being someone else. They're very shallow and empty so they need to become something they are not... that's still themselves.

I got one.

which brings us to Jack Handey:

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

himself is gender specific and no gender was specified. Good call on the therefore thing, though.

then perhaps "himself/herself" would be the proper way to refer to that person
