Villain or Hero: You have to choose to be a villain in a story (movie or real life) to make someone learn a lesson and live a better life or become a hero in a story (movie or real life) to save someone at the expense of other lives. Which would you become? Share your response however you want, fiction or non-fiction.
I would choose to be a hero in people's life but I have a question, "What is life without a villain in stories? Heroes are not heroes if there is no villain, life wouldn't be fun if there were no villains, villains make life beautiful, they show you the two sides of life and let you decide your fate even though they have already decided your fate and they do know what you are going to choice, but yet, they still decide your fate for you anyway. 🤷♀️
In today's world, everyone wants to be the hero in people's stories, everyone wants to be the good person who freed another from the shackles of poverty or shackles of evil, and everyone wants to be the one people hail because they singlehandedly raised or removed someone from the dungeon or dirt,
We want to take pride in being the "If not for him/her, I don't know what would have been of me" Everyone wants to have the sayings "I picked you up from the gutters and cleaned you up", "I made you who you are", "I dusted and clothed you", "If not for me, you would have been nothing" blah blah blah.
It's okay if you don't feel or want to feel that way, and don't get me wrong too, I mean, we are human so we have that part of us that wants to be a hero to people, wants to be an angel sent from heaven to people and that's fine, we take pride in that.
I have had that moment, I have experienced that moment, I have been at the receiving end and I can imagine the hurt that comes with those words because they can be demeaning and heart-wrenching, they hit hard and bad.
Well, I want that moment too, where I am the hero in the lives of people around me, but because I have been the hero too many times and I have been the one always getting hurt because I was busy being a hero, saving people's asses and lives, but too many times, I have gotten bitten by those I was playing hero to in one of their lives challenges or the other and we know that adage that says "Once bitten twice shy" don't think it works for me because I have been bitten not once not twice and I always refuse to learn my lessons. Lessons they leave me regretting ever making that decision to be anyone's hero at their moment, and they leave me beating myself up for even doing what I did for such persons because I realized oh shit! "They do not deserve what you did for them".
Just maybe if this question came before now, I would have gone for the hero option, I mean, I don't mind laying down myself for someone but at this moment in my life, I don't think I ever want to be the hero in anyone's life, after the last incident, I am beginning to rejuvenate and enjoy my dark sides more and because my dark side enjoys being the bad person in a person's story, I always would choose to be the villain even in my sleep or dream world.
Teaching people lessons has become my discipline and giving people a taste of their own medicine is a course I am currently taking at the University of Dark Sides. These days, I do not give a hoot about how you feel anymore, I do not consider what it would be like to be in anyone's shoes because it makes me empathic, and that is exactly the reason why I do what I do for people.
Once I realize the kind of person you are, especially one who is self-centered because those who are self-centered, greedy, inconsiderate, not kind, Ill-mannered, a bully, selfish and inhumane, it irks the hell out of me because these set of people that are not just a threat to their lives but also a threat to the lives of others. In my head, I already begin to plan a savaging situation that will put them in a position where they would be the victim and watch themselves taste their pill.
After giving them a taste of their pill, I would sit calmly with a devilish grin or smile on my face depending on my mood, and watch them feel the same pain and hurt they effortlessly inflict on others when they choose to be inhumane. I don't do it with stress because I do not like to stress myself for such people but I am very sure, they will never leave such a situation without a different mindset.
It's no joke when my friends call me "Evility", (if there is a word like that, lol) it's actually for a reason, and that is because they know I don't spare most things, on some occasions, they talk me out of my decision because it could be disastrous they do know I could go to any length to make sure I teach a person a valid reason even if it means me hurting them.
People just got to learn, and if it means learning or teaching them the hard way, then I am in for the long ride, it is always an interesting and intriguing experience with them. I just enjoy being the villain in people's stories these days, I mean what? is life without a villain in their stories? You got to give us the respect we deserve. We earned it and we deserve it! 😀
