5th stage, PAYBACK!

So as I said many times, payback kicks ass. Not that I’m a very vindictive person but I’m a very vindictive person. Here’s the thing, I wanted to make myself a suit that looks like a bat and why not carry a couple of bat shuriken to shove them up criminals asses but then I grew up so I went into Law at university.There I realized that our legal system was retarded and not so blind. So that did not really please me and after my diploma, I decided to fight crime with this blog. Makes no sense? Good.

Anyway, stage 5 of a disaster situation is payback which is the same as a vendetta. Vengeance is a quite natural feeling. When something bad happens to you, you want to bring equilibrium back and thus, want to do something bad too, an eye for an eye as one says. But then, what stops you to have an escalation? Like the cops say “we have semi-automatics, they have automatics…”.

In the bible, Jesus said “if they slap you on your left cheek, give them your right one”. He was obviously high. See… I think Jesus got it wrong, I believe Dirty Harry had it right. I say if they slap you on your left cheek, you pretend to give your right one and take the opportunity to kick that guy in the nuts. That’s how business is done in the real world. In Lalala land, it might be “cool” to be beaten up to death but here on earth, it’s actually an awful thing. Now, in law we talk about “proportionality”. That means if someone insults you, you can’t just pull out your 357 Magnum and shoot that guy.

I still love a good payback story. The movie “The Crow” was pretty good if it weren’t gotten appropriated by emo goths. But I’m gonna finish this article with an old Chinese saying that goes something like that … “If someone hurts you, do nothing, sit by the river and wait to see his floating corps passing by”. In other words, karma will take care of business for you. Yeah right… I have another saying, “if you want to get something done, do it yourself!”.
