Perhaps we need a variety of personalities to make like interesting.
We certainly agree on that.
I have several very close friends that are quite eccentric.
It is very entertaining and interesting to spend time with them.
The dynamic of extremely gifted and extremely flawed in one person
is something I have always been somewhat fascinated with.
People who are extremely talented in certain areas
of their life and/or profession and
then they are complete inadequate hopeless
characters in other parts of their life.
There are so many examples...
besides Robin Williams
like Eddie Van Halen the rock guitarist.
He is extremely talented, has had so much
fame and fortune, but the guy is a social
incompetent. He may be deeply shy,
he may be deeply insecure, or he may
have other demons....who knows?
We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
