Hmm. Maybe. Law, especially litigation, encourages some anti-social tendencies. Argument. Glee at other's misfortune. A desire to wade hip-deep in the blood of your enemy.
Not much separates me from your average gladiator in temperment. I see crap everyday that would have shocked me ten years ago. Hear stories and see people do things I would never have believed. Hear people's most inner secrets. Sometimes, I stop myself and realize that what I do, what I'm doing, has a profound effect on people's lives. Forever.
I'm starting to wonder how long it will be until someone, somewhere, with a longstanding grudge comes to blow my brains out for what I did to him/her, or what they perceive I did. For any lawyer will tell you, our lives and our careers are ruled by facts.
And the facts will reign.
