…that it’s sad when a comedian is the voice of reason in society.

…that you can never really know all the facts, so unless there is just overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why don’t we just give the benefit of the doubt to people? Quick example: someone recently told me that one of my projects was fine, but his version was better. I was pretty pissed off for a long time, but then I realized, you know, he has never said anything else mean to me, and I thought to myself, “Self, I bet he didn’t even realize how insulting that was. I bet it never crossed his mind.” We get a long just fine now and have a relatively good working relationship now.

…that people have a very, very hard time putting themselves in another person’s shoes, and it’s very hard for us to think about the ramifications of our actions.

…that we’re all the hero of our own story.

…that we’re all the sidekicks in our friends’ stories.

…that in some stories, we’re the villain.

…that one of my goals in life is to be a better sidekick to my friends, surround myself with the best sidekicks I can find, and be the villain in as few stories as possible.

…that based on my experience thus far, this is so true.
