Taking a bullet

I knew I should have written down my ideas when I had them. Oh well, I hope my ideas would start coming back for this post.

I promised in the previous post that I would write about religion and spirituality in this post but I decided to delay that to another time and instead talk about 'taking a bullet'. Now, I'm pretty sure most of you reading this has somewhat 'took a bullet' for someone else, no? That's all fine, except for when the person you took the bullet for acts like nothing happened. I'd say, that's just a whole bunch of bollocks, ain't it? You taking the bullet for a friend and what do you get in return? That's right, people misunderstanding you. Utter bollocks.

Nonetheless, I try to look at things in a positive manner and think that it might just work out for the better. However, this whole situation has played out one too many times. Well, four times to be exact, all of it ending with the same thing. Me 'taking a bullet', the person acting like nothing happened. Oh wait, maybe I should explain what I mean by 'taking a bullet', just to make things easier. Literally speaking, it means you would die for someone else by jumping in front of the path of the bullet. Figuratively speaking, it means that you would take the blame for someone else's actions.

I am certain that we can all agree on one thing: If the person is not worth taking a bullet for, why do it? Thing is, what can you do if it keeps happening to you? For example, every time you get blame for someone else's actions, that 'someone else' happens to be the exact same person? It's like a jinx, I tell you. No, this is not a joke. However, with that said, I don't mind taking a bullet. Wait, make that bullets. :) Not at all. Here's to you my friend.

On a comical note, Spider-Man takes bullets for people! How does he do it? :)

Anyways, I shall it leave here for you to ponder on the last time you took a bullet for someone else. Was it worth it? If not, why? and would you ever do it again? As for me, even though I won't, I'll probably have no choice. Here's to a better day!
