Meh, the main character should have ended up in the desert and become the Arab messiah like in Dune, that's a real good ending.
(By the way, wasn't Dune written after the premiere of Lawrence of Arabia?)

I've always felt it was a bit odd how words "mean" something - how would the other person know I wasn't just lying to them or telling them what they wanted to hear?

Maybe I didn't mean anything I said, maybe it's just noise that's coming out of my mouth.

Very odd indeed.

>childhood neglect to narcissism/selflessness pipeline
any other anons who grew up in neglect? it's odd no? we weren't really abused physically or mentally, our parents just... didn't do anything
they left us alone and we just sat by ourselves, and the world kept on turning

now as adults, what happened to you folks? i grew up as a sort of selfless individiual, always been putting others before myself, much to the detriment of my well-being
how selfless? i give like 70% of my pay to my parents to help with their loans, groceries, etc. and when friends ask for money, i just wire it to 'em no questions asked
one of those "friends" currently owes me $4k
I'm tired, anons
