I am not the kind of person that wants to enforce my wants, likes, desires, on everybody else. i have no desire that everybody like what i like. i have no desire everybody say what i want to hear said. i have no desire everybody stop whatever they're doing and listen to what i have to say. i have no desire that everybody agree. no, that's not true. i do wish everybody agreed, but i'm not gonna sit around and force that on people.
