I think your dope dealer friend probably was a loser, but that he had friends of his own, and family, and relationships and a life you know nothing about, even people he didn't discuss work with, and these things too all defined him. Seems like -you- defined him based entirely on what he does/did, doesn't it?
This is a reasonable discussion for this medium, maybe you should go watch TV.
I never said it was a black and white issue. Now you are twisting my words.
The dope dealer had no one. He spent almost all of his time at my house with my roommate. He chose to define himself as a dope dealer because it gave him status, and he had no other way of achieving an identity for himself to show to others.
Sorry, kido, I don't have a TV.
