Serpent Lamb: Who I Truly Am.

Quadrant 3, half serpent, and half lamb. What does this mean? That is who I am. You can discover who you are just as I did.

Close your eyes and think to yourself what a serpent represents. What does a lamb represent? What does a lion represent? What does an angel represent? A serpent is deceiving just like in Adam and Eve. A lamb is innocent and not harmful. A lion is ruthless, doing harm to anything that comes in its way. An angel is as honest as the sun on a hot summer day. How do you decide who you truly are? It's easy!

Answer these questions, but don't let my answers influence your decision.

1.) What is the least important situation you would lie in?
      ex. Would you lie about not getting a lollipop in order to get another one?
 Be honest with your self.

The conclusion that I came to is that I lie in order to make situations easier to deal with. The lowest I've ever gone is at work. I'm a hostess/ server and sometimes in order to get my sales up or to make customers happy I tend to lie. It's not a very dire situation, however; I do it anyway. As long as I'm not doing an incredible damage on the person im lieing to, I am willing to lie.

2.) What is the least important situation that you would be willing to kill for?
       ex. Would you be willing to kill someone because they cut you off in the freeway?
Again, be honest. Nobody except yourself will know.

Personally, I believe that another person's life is not mine to take. That's God's decision to execute, but if there was to be a situation where it was in my hands to save an innocent life I would kill for that person. I wouldn't kill for any other situation than that to be a hero.

3.) I will need you to close your eyes. Imagine the most horrific torture in the world. Would you be able to do that to another person?
       ex. Strapping someone to a stretch table and stretching him to death.
Don't fool yourself. Would you be capable to be the most evil person on earth? Remember, nobody is judging you; you are the only one who knows.

The most horrific thing in the world I can imagine is cutting someone's head off with a machete. Things like this do happen and are happening in the country of Mexico. I would not be able to live with myself knowing that I put someone through that type of pain. I would hear their spine crackling in my sleep. My hands would forever be tainted in blood.

Now, evaluate your answers. Do you lie more than the average person? Are you violent beyond the point of coming back? Think aboout it and be completely honest or otherwise your true self will never be reveled. Like I mentioned at the begining of this little experiment, you will be drawing a graph with four quadrants. The middle point, a.k.a: (0,0), represents the average person, but you can't be that average person. Choose a point with in this graph. Remember LION=Violent, LAMB= Harmless, SERPENT= Deceiptful, and ANGEL= Honest. The closer you are to a certain object the more your character is like theirs.You have to decide wether you are more honest than the average person or not, and if you are more violent or not than the average person. After choosing those points find their interception (the star in my own graph). Where your star lies determines who you are! Refer to my example:

I am a serpent lamb, who are you?

Turns out I am a Serpent Lamb. I am willing to lie, but I just can't physically hurt someone. The guilt I would feel afterwards is a great risk I am not willing to take. Yes, sometimes when the lie is too much to handle there are consequences that must be faced. I have learned from that mistake, so I don't lie about major things. I do lie about harmless things that I know will not have a huge consequence. When I did this experiment I was not alone. My class of 21 did the exact same thing, but we got completely different results. We later broke off into groups that were the same. It was reassuring to know that there are other people who think the same way I do. It was interesting to see that the least amount of people were Lion Angels, and the rest of the quandrants were almost equal. That gives to show that less people are willing to get physical imeadiately.

Trust me you are not alone in what ever quadrant you land. There are thousands like you in the world filling the same quadrant.
