Justice
10 years ago
I'd like to share a little bit about my personality and in so doing perhaps give everyone a little bit of information to reflect upon for their own lives.
Ever since I was very young, I've always been a pursuer of justice. I was raised by good (yet stern) and loving parents who instilled the qualities of a gentleman in me. As such we take it upon ourselves as gentlemen (and ladies) to ensure that there is never a victim within our ability to prevent it. We take it upon ourselves to protect those who cannot defend themselves. We can be honest in that we all have varying motives about this pursuit, some for glory, some for feel-good-feelings, some for charity; but the end result is the same.
My Mars is in Libra. For those who haven't made astrology a life's pursuit; in short that means that when it comes to conflict-situations, I manipulate with words. It means that I am damn near super-human in quelling conflict, talking down fights, etc. as I have done many times over. From when I was young and small, I ran verbal circles around bullies who would beat up and pick on "nerds" and never once had to engage in physical combat.
However, regardless of one's verbal skills, there will always be those out there who won't listen or who can't even understand your own language. So what do you do? I took up training in martial arts. Got my 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo and my 1st degree black belt in Hapkido and taught martial arts professionally for 2 years and was undefeated in the academy sparring competition (I became the reason why instructors couldn't participate anymore :p). So now with my mind and my body honed to take on whatever predators that would come my way, I was ready.
In the end, it's the mind that reigns supreme. In the end, when my family discovered that a key to our Car-Wash kiosk was missing, rather than the knee-jerk reaction of replacing the lock cylinders as was propositioned, I instead installed a camera to capture any possibility of theft. Now, with several documentations of said thief (who has been employed by my family for over 13 years) have been recorded. He looks us in the eye every day and takes our money like it's no big thing.
Well, now with an estimated of over $16,000 in theft over the last 4 years, he will face felony charges and be arrested next week in view of the public.
As a gentleman, my mind is my sharpest blade while my justice is patient and exacting. Goddess be with me, justice will be served.

A sharp mind is indeed a powerful thing, and I'm trying hard not to let my own go blunt. Never a drop of alcohol I've drunk, nor drugs I've used.
Great work, Karma Chameleon is pleased.
