So... You notice a crack addict hooker who's murderd people in her life is about to get shot, you dive, take the bullet, and die. You go to heaven or whereever you go when you die. Your family, friend, and children, in my case, mourn you. Your child, without a mother/father, grows up confused, becomes a sociopath. S/he finds comfort and calm in torturing people/things/doing things that aren't "ok."

The hooker.... returns to her hooking life. Turns out she looted your dead body and took the $20 in your pocket to buy more crack. She never makes anything of herself, and the only way she "helped" people is to relieve their sexual frustration. She dies and still goes to "hell"

This is, of course, the most extreme example. But in certain situations, it is always best to put oneself first. That is the first thing I learned while takin First Aid/CPR. If you are going to be the one doing the saving, put YOURSELF first, because if something happens to you, both you AND the victim are screwed.

I'm lucky in that the Wiccan's I've encountered didn't look down on me because I was a book learner... more and more it's the only option available to teens. Then again, I never tried entering a coven or anything; I'm a Solitary. Of course, I'm also a Discordian, so it's not likely that I will find a coven of Discordian Wiccans.

I know. I was lucky as hell to have a teacher for awhile, and I wish I still benefitted from her experience. I envy other religions for that, that community. Christians have it, Buddhists have it, they all have it, even Satanists have it more than us!

On another note, I grew up with a parent (directed at Evo), and I'm still a sociopath. Explain that.
