A Claw for a Claw
PM's portrait
Last night, Kulot and I were tinkering with Facebook apps and we came across an interesting quiz titled ‘How Evil Are You’. She insisted that I take it, and assured me that it was certain as hell I would get the most evil-est score possible. After I took the quiz, what do you know, this was what I got:
Pure Evil and Pitch Black Darkness
OMG that was so funny, how can you get over pitch black darkness right? LOL. Though these quizzes on Facebook are no way standardized, I don’t think you can argue with it when we took another one, ‘Which Greek God Are You?’ and I landed as Ares God of War. Coinciding much? LOL. I was not surprised. I am Musang after all.
But seriously, I attribute my being somewhat princess from hell from my childhood. As a form of discipline, I was spanked. And if you remember the article ‘Spanking did not kill me’ buzz before, you can guess I have a lot to say about it, but of course, as you might’ve noticed, I do not like reacting to issues on their heat.
Obviously, spanking did not kill me, but built in me an idea ala the famous Hammurabi code. When I did something wrong, I was spanked. When I messed up, I was scolded. Of course, all the spanking and discipline measures made me the straight person I am today, to which I am grateful for, but as a side effect, I admit, it made me ‘cruel’.
The effect was an ideology that is built on justice: if something or someone goes and does something wrong, I strongly believe they should be punished for it, against all odds. It does not always entail hard feelings, but it is always necessary to give penance. I guess this is why I am short of pity for some patients I see in the hospital, if it was their own doing that got them there, then that’s that, they should deal with it.
If someone does me wrong, they should pay for it, and I would never be able to rest quietly until I get redemption. I can forgive, but without retribution, I just know I will never forget. It may sound harsh, but what people learned early on is difficult to unlearn. Punishment may be a strong word, but in a world divided, it is always necessary.
Certainly, spanking did not kill me, but it gives me an idea why I always get pure evil and pitch black darkness everytime I answer personality quizzes.
modern psychology says spanking of children damages the child’s psyche and in this part of the world, we’ve seen people arrested by police believe it or not for spanking their children in public ! But like you, i was spanked when I was a kid and I thought it taught me the meaning of discipline
Pero ngayon parang hindi ko mapalo ang daughter ko, I don’t know why… baka kasi papaluin din ako ng missis ko hehe

Punishing is something that should be done, I agree, but I’m not the type that is fond of physical punishment. It may be a consequence but I rather use psychological punishment. Something like ignore or simply do nothing to remedy the consequences.
Yah, this method probably have high chances of creating a monster too but…I never tried so I can’t really tell. Hope I don’t need to develop such method.

i don’t think i’m a monster though LOL

The concept of monster is pretty relative.
And the way punishment affects people differs a lot so nothing can be really concluded definitively.
But if one can care about the others and not be completely cold toward the world I guess it’s the minimum needed to be able to insert into the society right?

i guess i would have to agree. btw, your paper cranes haven’t reached me yet!

so you’re the goddess of war huh? kaya naman pala galit na pusa ang picture mo, with matching machine gun pa! so funny!
spanking is good but should not be overdone. otherwise, it will be a form of simply just a punishment and not a learning experience for the child.

nakakatuwa ang pusa na yan no? maybe they should enlist cats in the military.

I got plenty of spankings too, well too many, so I can totally relate to your way of thinking. And I feel the same way. I like the way you think! I hope you do know you’re not evil in any way LOL.

July 26, 2009 at 3:16 pm
but i like being evil LOL
prinsesamusang
July 26, 2009 at 8:28 pm
i never pictured you as evil.
but i am something of the same way. when somebody wrongs me, i never forget. i like to think it is because i trust people not to harm me.
but once i’ve learned *not* to trust someone, it’s impossible to regain that same level of trust again.

We would probably have the same results. Lol. Seriously, I got a lot of spanking, too. And it’s made for public viewing by my super strict Lolo. Sobrang disciplinarian. But I thank my oldies for that.
