I have an open driveway and there is this nasty neighborhood boy who brings his gang over the driveway and encourages the kids too be loud and boisterous and I know that he is doing this to annoy me. I have taken the peaceful way and requested them several times to stay away from my driveway because they are too noisy and that annoys me. Unfortunately, they keep on doing it and I got tired of talking to them. Sometimes, the only way to prevent people from abusing your kindness is to fight fire with fire with them. So when these nasty kids hangout at my driveway, I go there and spit all over the place. So they leave in disgust and find another inconvenient place to hang around. Then a little while later, I collect my urine and sprinkle it all over the place. I don't clean the place and leave it as dirty and foul smelling as possible. I accept that it makes my driveway dirty and smelly and I don't mind it. For me, it's the price I have to pay for having people like these in my neighborhood. In other times when they hangout on the street and there are girls around, I speak disparaging remarks about the boys purposely so the girls will hear them. This causes the supposedly tough boys to go away in shame. I was surprised about this because I thought they were really tough. It turns out that they were just paper tigers. Sometimes, when I go out to the driveway to smoke a cigarette and the boys are on the street, I engage them in eye to eye staring game and I stare at them for a long time to see how tough they are. No, they're not tough, they could not bear my stare and hide away. They have already done malicious things on my property and I know that they know it. They could not bear my stare and anticipating nasty words from my mouth, they just fade away. My parent neighbors advise me to hit them physically for them to learn a good lesson. But no, I don't believe in hurting anyone physically. But psychologically, yes and I think it is more effective than physical beating. And the psychological hurt stay in their mind for a long time and they have to deal with it for their lifetime. But when I'm not around, they're back in their old nasty habit. Well okay but I won't stop either from being nasty to them. I'm not doing my nasty routine regularly. I believe it's more effective to do it sparingly, may be two or three times a month. I know these boys will grow up to be teenagers in a couple of years from now and they will have more important things to do than hang out on my driveway. But until then, I won't let them have their way with me. They can that is when I'm dead. But will those who I will leave behind allow the boys to continue with their abusive deed? I can't answer that question and I don't care a bit about it. When I'm already dead, it's not my problem anymore. What if when they grew up to be teenagers, they still choose to hang out on my driveway? Well, it will definitely be a different situation and I might encourage them to stay there. Why? Because I don't think they will be as noisy as kids and I will have lookouts to scare away thieves for free. Lesson: In
whatever that you do, always be the winner! |
