Another ‘someone’ whom I would rather not name (for risks too numerous to mention) had noticed my (rather normal) habit of tapping my fingers whenever I am bored and utilizing my mental facilities to think of something better to do to alleviate said condition. I noticed it before she did, though, and was only too polite to tell her to mind her own business.
So yeah, to you, who would not find any time to read this: Will you please mind your own business?
On to my business. I asked three of my friends (not necessarily close ones) for a random question each, for me to contemplate upon. As usual, those which they gave are quite shallow, but I expected as much, since they’re shallow too. And a bit stupid.
Sadist or Masochist?
The obvious lack of clarity of the above question caused me to think of two inquiries that can be rooted from it: One, Are you a sadist or a masochist?, and two, Do you prefer a sadist or a masochist?. Both are difficult to answer, and I am very tempted to simply respond with ‘No’ at the moment.
No.
What is your idea of justice?
To give (back) what is due, and more. I’ll leave you to your deductions on what this statement implies.
Actually, this was already asked before by one of my (smart) friends. I am an advocate of the Death Penalty, but if, and only if it is merely used as a décor, a kind of threat or reinforcement. I always say that death is the easiest escape from sin, and my stand will probably not change in the next ten years. (This is why I kill characters in my stories, even moreso when I like them.) For me, one who committed crime must be dealt with a punishment relative to his misdeed—imprisonment is fine, but must be executed correctly and accordingly. For example, if one committed arson, his belongings must be burned as penalty as well as being thrown to jail equal to the number of years it took to produce or make the item/building that he set on fire. Similarly, if one committed murder, he will be thrown into a lifetime of imprisonment—with physical or emotional persecution based on the damage he dealt. For him to be sentenced to death will not be fair and is only a means of evasion. To die that easy will not suffice; for that person to suffer as other people had, due to his transgression—that is justice.
I feel like I can answer question number one now.
Who are you, really?
Why would you—or anyone want to know? Is this supposed to be philosophical? Does it even matter?
That’s it. I’m done.
I should ask for questions from some members of a certain literary organization. They should make sense, and at the same time un-boring.
