bigblu89 09/22/23 3:52:14 PM #15:	I've always felt that everyone should be passionate about one thing that has absolutely no real bearing on the world. Whether it's collecting something, watching Star Wars, playing baseball, going to plays, building Lego sets, etc. Otherwise your world is just either your school or your job. You end up taking life way too serious, and no one really enjoys hanging around people that are serious all the time. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:976241516] in is having ...
