continuing silence

  There are 3 kinds of people in the world.
  The first kind go through life thinking only of themselves. "I want what I want, screw everyone else." These people are in general, "jerks".
  The second kind do "good" things because it makes them feel good about themselves. They strive for a positive self image.
  The third kind do "good" things because, to them, it's instinctual. They've never known any other way of living. They do the "right" thing, by nature.
  It's possible to be a mostly first kind of person and become a mostly second kind, and vice versa. But neither the first kind or second kind can ever become the third kind of person.
  Most of us are a variable mix of the first and second kind of person. I myself, was primarily a first kind, for a very long time.
