Lerpent or Langel?

Lion or Lamb? Angel or Serpent? In simpler terms are you violent or not a liar of not? These are my thoughts on the subject of placing others in these catagories and ultimately placing myself.   

         How I place someone as being a Lion or a Lamb is by their morals not necessarily their ability to do or not do something but whether they think about it. If someone is physically incapable of murder but wants to murder innocent people for no reason I would consider them a lion because their morals are as such. They don’t feel that murder is wrong and would commit it if they were given the opportunity. A lamb on the other hand would not be able to even fathom the idea of murder let alone go through with it. Those are of course two extremes and there are thousands of areas in between where people can fit on the lion to lamb scale.

        Personally I feel I belong closer to the lamb side of the two as I would never murder someone unless under extreme circumstances. I am not a violent person and tend to avoid conflict. When choosing where to place myself I was a little apprehensive on calling myself more of a lamb as I feel that lambs can be pushovers. In movies and books the lamb character is weak, wimpy, and all together not very interesting. There is not a story I know of where the main character is a lamb and I think it’s because, plainly put, lambs don’t make very good stories. I, however, am in fact a lamb. Yet unlike most I believe I would be a great main character in a story as there is a lot more too me then just my lamby label. I am not a violent person but I am no pushover either, I will never let people walk all over me as I do in fact have a backbone. I just don’t like violence, it’s as simple as that; I am proud to be a lamb.

         Placing someone on the serpent versus angel scale I feel is much simpler. A person is either a liar or isn’t, yes people lie in different quantities, for different circumstances; however, it’s pretty black and white. I placed myself on the angel side, as I don’t lie very often. I’m not putting myself on this high horse of extreme honesty oh no, just looking back on things I rarely lie. The only times I can recall of lying is when I’m helping someone keep a surprise or the occasional harmless white lie. Other then those I’d rather be honest; call me a wimp but lying stresses me out…

         So I guess what this exploration into my inner wimpy honestness has told me is that, no I would not make an amazing main character in a novel or movie. No I can never be a courageous super hero. No I will never be a spy, however, I’m rather content with all these facts. I am an honest non-confrontational lamby angel and am proud of it!
