As a selfish and manipulative being, I understand that every living individual in this world is capable of acting on these traits and more. Being that I know what it means to be cynical and twisted, it brings me to disregard the fact that these characters behave in similar ways. Comparing each character's actions and words does nothing. I do not have a care about what the readers will snip out of the story to move against a character. There is no fight to be won! It is simply that they are all human and they are free to make their own choices. Not all of their decisions they make will be good; I apologize for telling the truth. They're all victims in their own right once you put it into perspective. So settle down, darlings! It's not your life, so don't get pressed about it.
I read half of these “debates“ out loud and all I've been saying is oh my god for the past ten minutes. This is hilarious. Anyways, I think every character in this story is selfish and manipulative. Gotta love them all! Rights to every one of 'em. Cheers, luv.
