Charming

Last night with some friends the topic of character defects came up. I pointed out that I don't have any character defects, just charming personal idiosyncrasies.

For example...

You are cheap. I am frugal.
You cheat. I am clever.
You are angry. I am passionate.
You are frivolous. I am fun-loving.
You are pushy. I am assertive.
You are rude. I am honest.
You are judgmental. I am principled.
You are secretive. I am discreet
You get the idea.

Anyway, when I listen to the folks running for president, I pay attention to their language. A lot of it is passing off their own character defects as charming quirks while condemning other people's style as character defects.

Oops! There I go being principled, again.
