Im glad you mentioned Vegeta from Dbz, i luv that guy but it seems you misunderstood his character.

Vegeta pride and arrogance were his downfall, if you watched the Maijin saga where he betrays his own family and friends he doesn't become stronger, he becomes a puppet of his past saiyan arrogance making him weaker not actually stronger that's why at that point of the series Vegeta became a proud fool and a sad story.

eventually he becomes good again and from then on to GT he becomes a good guy.
i mean if you're gonna call him your role model at least analyse his growth as a character cause he himself realised in the series his arrogance and pride were his downfall.

Touche. No many things top beating someone with their own argument. +1 for anime geeks.

@OP: I'll just say what people have probably already said, but with a personal twist: People aren't necessarily narcissists with perception issues just because they don't agree with you, that's ridiculous. Some people just genuinely believe in a higher spirit, be it God, Allah, Brahman, Cthulhu or Korrok. Who knows whether they're right or not, but as long as they're not pushy or acting dangerously because of it, we should just let them believe what they want. They also might find relief in thinking that life isn't completely meaningless, or that stuff doesn't just stop after death. I'm among them, as I believe in reincarnation, though not influenced by karma (this does not mean I'm not afraid of death, I really am). Just try respecting people's beliefs and know that they're just as entitled to their opinions as you are.

He mentioned anime in a sentence somewhere and it all just seemed so juvenile, it seemed to fit together. I didn't know his entire philosophy was based on Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z though.

Man, that tickles my funny bone.

But wasn't Vegeta second best to a happy-go-lucky guy who wasn't arrogant or overly proud and had respect for those around him?
