You don't even think LTT was impressive. Your standards are too high.


My standards are high because I think I base them on real people.

I don't believe it when someone says "That person is the best person in the entire world!" because I embrace mortality and the experience that comes through joyfully taking part in the sufferings of the world. Uh, that sounds poetic.

What I mean to say is I base my standards on believability, and I frankly can't believe it when someone just tells me that an individual is a paragon of perfection. I'd rather read about humans rather than heroes or gods.
