I always knew that I was somewhat a violent person. It's not like I am actually physically capable of being the violent I would want to be, but the intentions and thoughts are definitely there. As a person of small stature, I find myself more violent than others simply because I'm petite. People that don't have as much physical defense have more motive to be violent than others who are more than capable. Besides being violent, the first discussion about lying brought up my inner me. I'm not a fan of lies, but there are circumstances that I think lying is almost better than telling the truth. I'll lie to preserve my status of being a nice girl. I'm an 18 year-old girl who makes mistakes all the time. What would be the point of admitting my every wrong move, then? I make mistakes and fix my problems myself. I lie to protect others view of me, and I find nothing wrong with that. I'm also writing really short sentences and I should learn how to write longer ones.
The class discussion we had today actually brought up some thoughts that I would have never thought before. One of the discussion topics was about what we thought was the worst act a human could commit. I chose genocide as the worst act because it is a mass killing of innocent people. What else could be worse? I couldn't imagine anything else, honestly. I also agreed that I would commit genocide only in the race was of zombies. Who would want the world to be run by a bunch of zombies? No one.
I feel like people in general are a lot more deceptive and violent than we would like to be. We forget that we are basically animals. I don't know whether you believe in evolution or not, but I do. I consider myself as an animal and I blame a lot of my actions based on that notion. I use violence and deception as an act of self defense like a lot of other people, but of course there are the few whose brains are genetically altered to be ultimately malicious. As I sit and drink my San Pellegrino Limonata, I understand that I really am not all that much of a liar or violent person, but I would almost like to be for the sake of my own self defense both physically and mentally. Girls, also, are more prone to be more self defensive because it's usually girls who are the attacked rather than the attacker.
The characters my group chose to represent the Winged Lions were quite random and I basically chose Walter White because I am somewhat obsessed with Breaking Bad and love to find a connection to everything Breaking Bad. So my person didn't really fit all that well but the monster in Frankenstein really fit the qualifications.The monster is just like a human being in that he's an animal and makes mistakes. He overuses his violence but is quite an honest creature because he admits to the maliciousness of his violent acts. Alright. So I'm basically done with this blog and have over-thought the meaning of violence and deception a little too much.
