CHOOSE WHO MADE YOU A BETTER

The Title is a bit confusing... learned from a movie I once watched alone, laughing hard...

We all know that in our lives we always wanted to become the hero of our own story. We never wanted to be the evil one, but always the good, because people are naturally good and the end goal is always to be a man of goodness. It is preferred that people are always remembered by the good deeds rather than the bad deeds they have done.  People would always look up to the hero rather than the villain. What really makes a hero and villain if ever I, myself would become one?

            I was once asked in a beauty contest, if I was to choose between the two characters in a movie, the hero or the villain, what would I be, and why? I have always put into my mind to be the hero, but in that competition I chose to be the villain not because I sought to be a bad person, but because I would like to uplift my personality from the shy type girl who is always been teased around, to the girl who’s ready to fight. I opt to have a strong personality who is ready to fight back and to face anyone without fear. It is a test for me to become a villain; since I have a very contradictory personality, a person who hates to fight even when people abused me of the compassion I show them. So as to why I always wanted to be the villain to experience the odd challenge that he brings to the hero.

            If I were to be a hero I would opt to become the “Good Guy”, for a straightforward reason that it is much better for a man to have a purpose in doing well. Our intentions and actions should always be balanced. If I desire to become a hero, it is for purpose and courage. To become a hero is not to uplift my name, because I have done well, but because my intentions are good and I have made my part, I have help a lot of people without asking for any reward and recognition.

            To become a villain is a challenging character, eloquent to all the oddness, evilness and wickedness he portrays is a difficult job to do, but if given the chance to be one I choose to be the anti-villain because I like the twist he portrays. An anti-villain has done bad deeds, actions, and behaviors, but for the intention of saving, rescuing and helping other people. I cannot really describe the twist and the challenge he shows. I neither would say he is good nor bad, because of its contradiction to what he illustrates and what would he give. He is a challenge for me to do bad actions just to help other people, because I may cause one person hate just to make one person happy.

            It defies who we really wanted to become in our own story, become the villain or become the hero. But what really makes a person happy is to be free of his own will and chooses what would really define his own characteristics in life. As persons, we may be the hero or the villain of our own life stories but it really depends on what we desire to choose that would help us to become better persons.
