Reply #12: (lol!) The Plague of Introspection. [View All]

As a (purported) baby-boomer, I guess I'm symptomatic of the self-centered generation ... not to mention a heavy dose of Roman Catholic influence. (Is "Catholic Guilt" contagious?)

It's hard to tell a convincing story in the third person about an event nobody witnesses. I've heard stories about people who periodically put money into parking expired meters while they're taking a walk. I've heard stories about people who send "Your integrity is appreciated " flowers anonymously to people at the office. I've heard that there are ways of donating DU stars to people in ways that even Skinner doesn't know that it wasn't the person themself. I've heard of people paying the toll for the car behind them. There's a million stories in the Naked City. Maybe someday I might try one of these things... when I take time-out from my navel-gazing.
:silly:
