Ah memories. I used to steal school supplies to make origami fortune tellers and sell them to kids in grade school.

Then I realized becoming an unfeeling capitalist only concerned with profiting off of my fortune tellers was making me into a monster, and I haven't looked back since. Now if I do origami, it is either for personal use or as gifts. The darkness tested me, I saw what that path would make of me, and I chose the light.

I may not be an origami mogul, but my humanity wasn't worth discarding to become one.

Whenever people ask why anyone makes open source software for free, I'm going to use this as a metaphor.
