I know we might be discussing something controversial or something I completely disagree with but having that sort of interaction with a person where their face lights up and they share something about themselves, or about who they are, is comparable to few other experiences for me.
Going off of this, I love talking to people about themselves. About who they are, where they're from, where they want to go, their weaknesses, their strengths, everything. I find it so amazing that we all live on this same planet, and yet can be so different and so the same. I love it! I especially love it when the person isn't trying to convince you of how great they are or how tough their life was, or anything like that. They're just sharing their lives with you. I've been lucky to have this experience a couple of times, and nothing compares to it.

I find Final Fantasies very interesting.
All Final Fantasies stories are great and touching, and the music is so amazing. I sometimes wonder in a few hundred years time, will the stories be taught like Shakespeare and play those piece in music class worldwide?

Why aren't we friends yet? =\

I wish the stories would be taught in class as many of them do have quite a bit of depth. Unfortunately, I can't imagine video games ever being an "Accepted" form of media. I mean, there have been some pretty important movies in history (Star Wars etc.) and they're not being taught in any classes.

...But on the plus side, some of the music is being taught in music classes in Japan, as well as being played by some pretty classy orchestras worldwide.

What are the odds you're going to Distant Worlds?

This isn't really a concrete concept, but I find it fascinating that so many lives can coexist without ever crossing each other. That the world is seen so subjectively; every person with a different story.
