David's Heel

David knew he was capable of doing anything. He could make anyone happy and adapt to any situation if called upon. It was his one true dream realize his potential and be the best; to be everything anyone could ever be. If he had three wishes, they would be super strength, super speed, and super wisdom: this would ensure he could face any challenge. (Flight would help the falling from an airplane scenario, but he would be strong enough to punch the world away from him when he landed or flap his arms so fast he would hover; also, his super wisdom would probably devise a really cool way to survive the impact.)

David drew heavily upon his ease of conversation and understanding of M.U.C.S., Mutual Understand and Comfortable Silence. People liked to express themselves around David and he in turn shared his own perspectives. It was through this ease that David started to see that many people are completely oblivious to how they act. After this discovery, David grew bitter and felt himself superior. How could so many people be such fools?

It took David four years to finally see how horrible he was acting and that it was through this selfishness and superiority that people become assholes. And not just assholes: lazy people, attention whores, womanizers, know-it-alls, and other undesirable people we have to sit next to in the cab during your friend's birthday because you were too drunk to recognize which one you were getting in and found you were with Sarah's other group of friends that were constantly pissing you off while you tried to dance to that new Pitbull song. Yeah, I know Pitbull its just awful, but a mans gotta mambo when a mans gotta mambo.

David comforts himself with the fact that everyone struggles like he does, and everyone wants to be the best they can be. It's funny: if everyone was the best, then who would be the real best? Just goes to show that the world is just as fucked up as you are.
