The Undying Desire to Beat Someone Up
I’m not entirely sure whether or not it’s completely normal to have the desire to beat someone up. I’ve never been in a real fight. If I were to fill out a resume with the intention of filling an empty bar fighting position, the only past experience I could honestly include would be that I have lightly boxed one of my friends a few times.
I really want to beat someone up. As you can probably guess, this is a new development for me. Before you label me as an insensitive playground jerk, hear me out. I would never beat up that short kid with freckles whose mom writes love notes on his lunch bag. I always thought that kid was pretty cool. So what if his mom expresses her love to him daily via sharpie. I want to beat up the kid who beat up Freckle Boy.
I want to beat up that guy who emotionally abuses his girlfriend; the guy whose playful name calling seems to be secretly hiding a controlling grasp on her individuality.
I’m probably not the only person out there who wants to be honestly and desperately needed in some way. I would define this as a “Hero Urge.” My current Hero Urge is manifested as the desire to punch. Whether or not I will end up actually punching is unknown. Just take note of this imminent compulsion.
