It&#8217;s a trait that annoyed me as a child. She had no respect for people who wouldn&#8217;t follow her whims. She would more often than naught treat clerks badly. It was a &#8220;spoiled rich&#8221; mentality. She would be mean and she would climb the food chain until she got what she demanded.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like to identify with my mother as mostly everyone who knows me knows.<\/p>\n<p>However.<\/p>\n<p>You do not screw with me or those close to me. Especially those close to me. The difference between me and my mother is that it takes me a lot of consideration before I cross the line into the attack.<\/p>\n<p>When I do find myself crossing this line it is a side of me that I let out in full force. I have no qualms about bringing in the absolute darkest sides of myself and taking down anyone that gets in the way.<\/p>\n<p>To me it becomes war. To me it becomes the challenge of putting what is right back to where it should be.<\/p>\n<p>Is it irrational&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. I hope not. I know when to walk away from a fight and more often than naught it has been far long after those around me have told me to stop. But in many of the cases that I have been told that I&#8217;m taking it too far&#8230; I have wound up being correct and winning.<\/p>\n<p>And to me it&#8217;s not a question of winning, it&#8217;s a question of fighting the fight with everything I have until my perceptions are changed.<\/p>\n<p>The point is for me. The battle is now on. I have a fight that I have been forced into. For better or worse, it is my nature. (Hell 5 signs in Aries including Sun, Ascendant, and Saturn&#8230;) <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Never start a fight, but always finish it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am Aries, I am Ares, I am Shiva<\/p>\n<p>I have no patience for systems that are broken and refuse to be fixed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Edit:<\/b>2005.06.16: This post was friends only.
