Tragic Character Flaws from Shampoo Planet | ||
|
Lifted without permission from Shampoo Planet by Douglas Coupland. You are encouraged to get your own hardcopy from your local bookstore. Your inability to achieve solitude makes you settle for substandard relationships You don't believe magic is possible in lives lived within traditional boundaries You disguise your laziness as pride You are paralyzed by the fact that cruelty is often amusing You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you worry you are an interchangeable cog You mistake motion for growth and are lured into vexing situations You defend other people's ideas at the expense of your own You still don't know what you do well You are unable to visualize yourself in a future Your inability to sustain sexual interest in just one other person drains your life of the possibility of intimacy Your own ability to rationalize your bad deeds makes you believe the entire universe is as amoral as yourself You willfully ignore the small, gentle observations in life which you know are the most important Your fear of change is too clearly visible in your eyes You are wasting your youth, your time and your money because you won't acknowledge your shortcomings Your refusal to acknowledge the dark side of humanity makes you prey to that dark side You worry that if you lower your guard, even for one second, your whole world will disintegrate into chaos You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you should be bringing about yourself You are dazed by the ease with which obliteration can be obtained You feel you have more memories than you have energy to process those memories You are unable to differentiate between facade and substance I am afraid of the Dark Ages Let's just hope we accidentally build God Imagine yourself befriending a monster You are never far from the sound of an engine Grow a tail We're all theme parks Technology favours horrible people Only democracy saves us from the ravage of being animals
