    This is intended to be a very deep discussion. No spam, no one line posts. Please.

    Why do we do, what we do? Why is it, that you can fight with your girlfriend and you're fine until she cries? Why is it, your best friend can be telling you the truth, and you know it's the truth, yet you still resent him for being your friend? Why is it, you can yell "I HATE YOU!" To the girl you know you love. Why do we lie to ourselves, not to make us feel better because we know it's a lie, but just to justify whatever we've done. Why? What the ---- is the point? Why is it, that parents will try to make their daughter stay away from the man she loves, the man that makes her very happy just because they are jealous she doesn't want to spend as much time with them as she does with her boyfriend? Why are we so vindictive? Why is it, even when we aren't technically being selfish we still try to help ourselves. We listen to people, and try to help them, yet we are still thinking of ways to better ourselves. Why is it, a father who claims he loves his son, will swing at his son and tell him he is worthless, all because the son didn't score his average for the season in a basketball game. Why would a mother who claims she loves her son, tell him he is worthless, ALL the time. Never ending.

    I want to get into why I am, the way I am. And why you are, the way you are.

    I consider myself a fairly decent man. I'm fifteen, about to turn sixteen. I have a job, and I'm an strait A student. I have a 4.0 gpa, and I got a 1450 on my SATs as a freshman. I'm very strong willed. A natural leader, and people follow me. Yet they're definate flaws in my character. I'm very arrogant, very stubborn, and very set in my ways.

    Anyways, discuss the questions. Maybe, tell what you like and don't like about your character.

    I don't think it's hard to understand? I'm exploring my character. Thought others woudl want to as well. Read it again, then make a thoughtful post. I don't imagine this thread having a bunch of pages, just one or two THOUGHTFUL pages.

    -sigh-

    But your getting into the very deep depths of basic human nature, I dont lie because I know its a lie...I lie to myself because it makes me feel better. A lot of the things you said is just a basic human emotion, the Father not wanting his Daughter to have a boyfriend one, isn't always a jealousy thing. It is often a primal need to protect ones kin/

    Meh. Better? :)

    The daughter is almost eighteen years old, damnit. I'm sick of her father, I want to swing, but I know if I do, I'll never get to see her again.

    Most parents struggle to let go regardless of their childs age, surely she must be moving out soon?

    Either way, have most of these things at the top happened to you then? If so, whatever, forget her dad, regardless of how annoying he gets if you really like the girl you'll just ignore him till he finally moves on.

    Human nature is an interesting thing. Every action that man does, everything we do is moving towards something.

    All men want to be happy (and if you say otherwise about yourself, you are lying) and every single action man does, he does in order to move towards being happy. Even if he does something that would be seen as hurtful, (yelling at someone, fighting, etc.) he does it because in the back of his mind, he thinks that by doing this he's going to be happy. Unfortuently, that is not always the case and sometimes in doing something that you think will make you happy, you end up screwing everything up and sinking more and more into despair.

    I am trying to be happy, no lying there. I want to be with her, but not just for her for me aswell. She makes me incredibly happy. I can't help that. I'm selfish, I understand that. Everyone is, though. It's just to what extent.
