Humans worship and seek to express gratitude. But blind mass worship and power often leads to corruption and disconnection of the hero from the people. We humans often assume and invent a person's goodness and personality in our minds, filling in the blanks of what we don't know with our own biases. "They would NEVER! Oh wait, they did? I never saw that coming!" How many of us have had our heroes be exposed to be very much less than we had built up in our minds?JK was always the way she is. Most fans just didn't know.

Most vote along party lines for a variety of laws that oppress someone's rights, despite hoping that the good things they do get more traction in the public eye. Which is why a two-party system can easily point out the true and valid evils of their opposition, and focus on their own good, while they themselves engage in both.D&D makes me thing about the spectrum of alignment a lot. It really helped me understand Goodness in a way that historical and modern methods have failed to accomplish.Live in your highest frequency! Embrace love and kindness! Be Neutral (True) Good!</blockquote>
