I've been watching the amazing race 8 this season and one family always amazes me: the Weaver family. I just don't how they see themselves in the world.
They say things like "we're the only nice people left in this race" while they taunt strangers, insult other people's cultures, disparage where other people live, etc. They don't seem to be able to make a positive comment about anything other than themselves. Horrible.
And it's just not my impression. There are lots of stories about them.
It's funny how first impressions can be very wrong. At first I thought the Weavers were "nice" people and the Paolo were bad, bad people. The Paolo's fight a lot, but they were still okay people in that they just where not mean to everyone they met.
Unlike the Weavers, I really hope that I have an accurate picture of myself: as others see me.
