Which would you prefer
a roommate who's a jerk in many ways, and whose only saving grace appears to be an implausibly deep well of empathy,
or one who's very nice in many ways, and whose only flaw seems to be having zero empathy
?
It's not that I have to pick and choose. Ha ha. It's just that, for many reasons--the kind future blog posts are made of--I see people's personalities very vividly these days. Hi hi.
