I went to a club with a mate and walked into an old high school friend whom happens to be the bouncer of the club. After the usual chit-chat I question him about what he has been up to last few years. He had a much larger build since high school, typical mean bouncer...but only in appearance. He started chatting to my how he has been doing a number of martial arts all they way thru to cage fighting.
I did not remember him as the fighting type when we were in school. He did went on to explain why he did all that training without me even asking. He told me that he felt its his duty (and pleasure) to fight those who pick on the weak and timid. The reason he developed this aggressive attitude is because road he walked during high school. Unfortunately this road included being bullied often and at one time being beaten up to such an extent that he has a permanent dislocated jaw.
He still harbor ill feelings for certain individuals, which he will probably try to beat up when confronted. All this desire for revenge, is it just? I kinda felt sad, that it seems he main focus for the last 9 years has been to take revenge on what happened to him.
I hope that his ways and opinion of life changes, to focus more on his own happiness rather the suffering of others...no matter how much they might deserve it.
