Personality

I don't mean the words to cut you, but I know they will.  It seems the way of words, in that.  But it must be said:  There are two many people who equivolate "human" with "person", when we've both been around long enough to know this isn't the case.  You're inhuman, though often humane.  This doesn't change the fact that you're not human and never will be, if you wanted it to begin with.  That doesn't change the fact...  There's a word for it, you know.  Some people translate it to mean "human being" but I prefer the other translation.  Mensch.  Person of integrity and honor.  That's where I think you fall.  Take of it what you will.
