three kinds of people?

so msg said to me today, "what do you think about this idea, claire? lately, i feel like there are three kinds of people in the world: creators, destroyers, and exploiters. and we focus a lot on how great the creators are without really rewarding them that much for it, and we complain about the destroyers an awful lot but don't seem to put much effort into getting rid of them, and all of that is because the exploiters are the ones who have the easiest time getting themselves to be in charge."

and i said, "you're forgetting about the fourth kind ... people who don't really care all that much about putting in the energy to be any of those three."

and he said, "somehow that's even more depressing."

so i said, "not if you put even a little energy into not caring quite so much!"

which made him scowl at me like he really wanted to call me a destroyer for messing with his idea.

well, i guess it takes two kinds of people to tango, right?

xoxo,
