What qualities in people do you admire most, find most beautiful, and most amazing?
I guess it all comes down to what I admire.
I admire how some can make the best of any situation, and how they can be civil and even jolly around people that they don't like.
I admire the ability of some to have such sublime ideas, and to create stunning philosophies and art out of those ideas.
I admire the great capacity some have to love, to show affection and compassion.
I admire the giving spirit of some, and the grace with which others accept the gifts.
I admire the ability some have to retain information, and the thirst they have for learning, and their open-minded approach to knowledge of any sort, and how they do not judge the knowledge.
I admire how some can see beauty in the simplest of things, and how they can even understand the subtleties of beauty in a wild animal in mid-hunt.
There's a negative side too, which involves my continued amazement at how ignorant some people can be, how willing they are to dehumanise the opposing side of any type of conflict. I am continually astounded by how juvenile people get in their attacks on others, and their ability to see everyone else's faults but their own, and to project their own faults on others.
