new food for thought

In Mr Reck's class we were talking about Sadism, Masochism, and Indifference. Which of these do you think you are the most of the time? Why do you think that is? For some circumstances does which one you are change?

I wasn't in Mr. Reck's class that week so I can't really answer this fully. I will say however, that I have a dark synnical sense of humor and attitude towards the world so I'm probably an indifferent sadist.

I think that these terms are too restrictive.

I am a person who is strong in my beliefs. I don't always try to force my beliefs on others, but by the definition I am a sadist.

I am a person who has an open mind. I don't always give up my beliefs but I am always listening to what other people have to say, but by the definition I am a masochist.

I am a person who tries to always stay true to myself and keep away from peer pressure. So I am indifferent.

I don't like these terms and I think people and their behaviors are way too complex to categorize like that.
