Doug:Moral masochism? Self-denial, self-marginalization, and love of suffering?
strength of character, an unwillingness to sacrifice principle to the demands of the moment? an ability to understand that even though the world as we know it is a bucket of sh*t, it could be better? commitment to working together with others rather than succumbing to narrow-minded greed or narcissistic depression?
Probably both Doug & I are right.
We both are. I was just being gloomy.
