I think we are here to challenge ourselves and make ourselves better people and not just sit around in the world simply floating through life.

Since the beginning of time, we have expected our leaders to be supermen, unlike mere mortals. We want them to be much greater than us so that we can look up to them.

At least I had food on the table.
