Nobody's perfect. It's just not possible. I read something one time, about how every system is dysfunctional, in some way. It's just not possible for something to work right in every way, especially when there are people involved. So you want to know my worst character flaw? I don't even know where to begin, I have so many. I guess if I had to choose, I'd have to say the worst is I trust too easily. And yeah, on the surface, it seems like a good thing. In a lot of ways, it is a good thing. But, see, I'm a hunter. I hunt ghosts, vampires, demons, and a whole host of other things that are evil. Trust is a touchy thing in my line of work, because you trust th wrong person (or not!person) you could get killed.
An example would be when a young man contacted my brother and me, and he claimed to be our long lost brother, which really wasn't so hard to believe. Dean was skeptical, but then Dean's always skeptical. That's one of his biggest flaws. I wasn't sure what to think about this long lost brother, but I wanted to believe him. And I felt kind of bad for him, because he'd grown up an only child, with a father who wasn't ever really there. Dean and me, at least we had each other. Turned out Dean was right to be skeptical. While Adam Milligan really was our brother, he was also dead, and a ghoul was impersonating him, and that ghoul very nearly killed me.
I wouldn't describe myself as sensitive, but I am more sensitive than Dean. I want to believe in the goodness of people. I want to believe being a monster isn't a choice someone deliberately chooses. I want to try and help the person trapped within the monster, if that's the case. Obviously it's too late for many of them. But I'd rather be sure there's no hope, than kill someone that doesn't have to die. Dean thinks that's a flaw. I think it's humanity, but isn't humanity man's worst flaw, anyway?
