There's not much room for ambiguity in Granny Weatherwax's world view; if you find out you're predisposed to sadism, and you act on it, then you've made your choice, you're wicked, and that is that. She herself isn't nice (She works very hard to hide her own darkness and keep it under control, she was destined to be a bad witch but had to be good as her sister was worse) and isn't bothered by that, she's a very grubby white, but she'll always stand up for what she sees as being right and she'll always be there for anyone that needs her help. She's one of my favourite chaotic good characters.People are things. It's a useful abstraction to turn them into fluids and shit.
And fuck you Granny! If you can't imagine grey you lack imagination. I bet there's a few people who, just as there are outliers with every emotion - fear, anger, sadness - are naturally sadistic. It's their favourite thing. Granny says, never enjoy it. Reality says they fucking will occassionally and logic says fuck you if you truly hold it against them. Emotion says get away from me anyway, but cats will play with thier food. Boom, grey.
"What is best in life? To trade with your enemies, to have their possessions at low prices due to economies of scale, and, to take their wives and introduce them into the work force."
Not nearly so much as they think they get to. And some choices will always look good, to you.There's not much room for ambiguity in Granny Weatherwax's world view; if you find out you're predisposed to sadism, and you act on it, then you've made your choice, you're wicked, and that is that.

Animals, she doesn't really seem to care about; they just follow their instincts, they don't choose. People choose.
To recognize anything as sacred is but to recognize it as greater than yourself. Not a bad exercise under the right circumstances, regardless of belief.The Butcher: And by the same token, nothing is sacred. Yet... sacredness insists upon itself.
For a given axis of magnitude, yes. I couldn’t care less about football, but for some people I know, it absolutely is a transcendental experience.I take the point you're going for, but to play devils advocate, greater then yourself is simply... greater then yourself. A football club is greater then yourself.
I've seen something to that effect as well. Apparently he was frequently mocked for the pompous tone of his writings.
In his time, Confucius was considered a fairly mediocre thinker. The reason he's famous these days is that one of the emperors ordered all philosophical writings burned on pain of death, and a full set of his were found hidden in a wall much later.

— Mark Twain“I haven’t any right to criticise books, and I don’t do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.””
I'm now interested.I'd post the soliloquy of The Other Guy from Midnight Nation that he gives David Grey to show that he isn't the bad guy, but it lacks the punch it has if you haven't read the preceding issues. The whole series is just amazing. LAPD officer is investigating a murder when he gets attacked by a goblin like man with gray skin, who steals his soul. A beautiful woman named Laurel tells him he has to walk to New York to get it back.
