My Masochism for your Sadism.

Caution! Don’t skip these following lines just because they are too long or have been written by me or…! If there is only one thing which we all need to really think about is the following, and you may even enjoy and like it. OK! Let me begin with telling you a short story:

Not so long time ago two friends of mine were pretending that they are going to fight! One of them picked up a heavy book (I'm not sure whether it was CLRS or not) and tried to hit the other one on the head, so the other friend asked him why he wanted to hit him. The first guy said it's because of his "Sadism" and so the other one said: "But for that you still need me having Masochism!!"
Oh this doesn't mean they were gay (although I'm not sure if they are not!) because we actually use these two words in none sexual context in Iran. To those who might not know, in Iran, Sadism only means enjoying hurting others, while in reverse, Masochism means having pleasure in being subjected to pain or humiliation, or so they say. But the actual point is that the second gay…Oh! I meant GUY actually...yes! The second guy, he was totally right about that. In fact he was actually talking of a big fact, which I call “Self-strength”! Something like self-confidence mixed with a cup of power and a bottle of consciousness would make it perfect! Yes he was absolutely right, in most cases others’ Sadism could not do anything to us without our Masochism (in their Iranian or non-Iranian meanings!).

In fact, since no one on Earth will cares about us more than we can do, it’s actually up to us to protect ourselves from everything (including those we care about). So as it would be fool to sit close to a lion who haven’t eaten for weeks, and say “Hey! Please don’t eat me!” (In a rare case of “Lafcadio” a good reason and attitude would do, but don’t be sure about that, since I’ve also tested a “Lafcadio”!), it will be ridiculous to expect a criminal don’t shot you just because it’s not Right! You can always say things like “Don’t hurt me!” or “You should not hurt me” or even “You can’t hurt me”, but they may still do that. And if it’s not Right that someone murders you in cold blood! But you must also consider the fact that it shouldn’t even matter to you whether they’ll gonna take him to the jail for that or not, if you are already murdered by him!

What I mean is that although you maybe able to PROVE that what somebody did to you was totally wrong, and he really shouldn’t do that, or terms like “Didn’t have the Right to” or even “Didn’t intend to”, but this may not give you back what they’ve already caused you to lose. So instead of expecting others, even good, trusted, loved, kind or… ones, not to hurt you (in any way that they may be able to), you’d rather really “DON’T LET THEM TO”. And I bet you it will work in the most cases (not in all case, but still is great!).

And my one last word is for those “others”, including those “good”, “trusted”, “loved”, “kind”, or even “GENEROUS” ones, which also may include you and me (as we are “others” to the others) : “Don’t hurt others (in anyway) just because you don’t INTEND to do that”. Please always remember: “Not intending to”, “Not wanting to”, “Not planning to”, and above all “Not knowing”, are never gonna be an “Excuse” for ANYTHING.

OK! Enough Preach! Let’s get back to life, where we all live in it!

P.S: And also sorry about that advertisement at the first paragraph! I was worried you might skip this text from the beginning!

Special Thanks to those two Friends. You gUys were really helpful.
