i think the main difference between a good guy and a bad guy is optimism and pessimism, respectively. someone that is honorable and fights for good is the one with an unshakable view of the good in the world, and their steadfast hope in that goodness, striving forth to expand that goodness. a bad guy is a pessimist, and selfish, who can see no hope for the way things are and they way they are going. they strive to get what they can out of it. since someone will inevitably make a terrible mess of things, it might as well be them. both the heroes and the villains have the capabilities to arouse terrific and awesome acts of change, but their outlook on life and the world around them is what truly sets them apart and dictates their actions. they are the extremes at either end of the spectrum, the epitome of optimistic good or pessimistic corruption. the rest of us see varying degrees of both, and try to deal with it the best we can, struggling to maintain some sort of 'sane' balance.
since this nation is spiraling rapidly downward with no brakes, and i just want to have fun, i guess i would be a villain.
