The Winged Lion: Being a honest killer

There are two types of killers in this world. The l ion is thought to be a symbol of pure murder. Thoughtlessly kill without regret or remorse. Lambs are symbols of innocence or tenderness; the exact opposite of the lion. There are two types of characters that people have as well. The angel quality represents truth and loyalty. Then there is the serpent represents lies and sneakiness. I was told to put myself in one quadrant that would represent two of the combinations.

 I considered myself a winged lion (angel lion) because I am more likely to kill than the average man, but more likely to be honest than the average man. I noticed this about me at an early age because lying was a moral quality I never picked up, but toughness was a moral quality I became acquainted with. Although I am more likely to tell the truth I am not a complete saint. I have lied before and manipulate, but I am less likely to lie about detrimental situations and I am a blunt person. I rather not go through the stressful process of getting someone to believe a fib when I could just tell the truth. I have no fear of getting in trouble because I do for myself. I do hold the truth in until the necessary because everyone can't handle the truth.

Also, I will not kill without the level of concern being high, but giving the opportunity I will kill for my kids (if I had kids of course), for my money, and my own safety without hesitation.  So when I put myself in the quadrant of lion and angel I put myself as close to the middle sector being half a saint and half a killer. Which in my point of view makes me a HUMAN? In the Bible, the scripture Exodus 21:24-25 states "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." I used to have this outlook on life. When I felt disrespected I would disrespect right back. But lately I have been taken on the idea from Matthews 5:39 “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn him the other also. I usually   allow persecutors more to pass because of the level of calmness I have obtained over the years.

Pure Lions take no prisoners everyone gets full consequences. No one is given a chance, but me as a human tries to keep drama at a minimum. Although revenge is great, prison is not. Also "karma" always takes tolls on persecutors. That's why I believe I am not so high on the lion scale. I am also not in the middle of lion and lamb is because if ever put in harm’s way I would take advantage of it and protect myself at all cost.  I am not a perfect saint nor am a murderous killer, but I will tell the truth or keep it real, and I will kill to defend myself or my children.
