Why me?

The worst thing in the world, the worst possible scenario, is to be the only one in your family to be in good health. The others just whine, cry, mope, and make impossible demands. Dad I need this. Dad I want that. Honey, you have to do this. Well I'm sick of it! Oh sure, I love this people, but I need to get some sleep as well. I need to worry about myself a litle bit, otherwise I'm going to end up the same way they are; sick and in bed.

Not at all the best route to taking over the world. I need to be well rested, and in good health. How serious are you going to take someone who is pale, hunched over in pain, slubbering, snot running down the face, sneezing, coughing, and miserable. No one. If that person were to start making demands, you would probably laugh hysterically, and then cap them one in the leg. Once they were down, you would kick them a few times for good measure. You really don't need to, they are already in a world of hurt, but that is the kind of person we are trying to be.

Take over at that point would be a trivial matter. Which is why, as Evil Overlord, I need to be well rested, and in good health. I'm not going to give up my empire to some punk, while I am suffering through a cold. Oh no! I'm taking care of myself! I'm ignoring the needs of my family so that I don't contract what they have, so that I stay healthy.

I say that. But I'm not. *grumble grumble*
