pain for pleasure.

Think of the word "punishment". Usually, punishment is an action carried out in prevention and deterrence of future mistakes, to the individual or a collective who made the mistake. Usually. There are always exceptions to the case. In this case, a particular group of people known as "sadomasochists" take the word in a slightly different perspective. They sometimes mispronounce the word "punishment" for the word "pleasure". Which is quite difficult to do, but it happens anyway. However, this is not the group I'd like to discuss. After all, their own pain is their own pleasure. None of my business.

The group of people I'd like to point out is those who punish others for their own pleasure. The reasons for their pleasure can be accurately deduced. This is because such people usually crave the same things, namely, attention and display of their "authority". And the reason they crave such things are most likely low self esteem, or mental instability. In the case in which I experienced, it was a combination of both, spiced up with an extra dash of sexual misorientation. And lack of grace and class. As well as a face I wouldn't like to be caught with in public.

The person I refer to has a small amount of authority over a middle sized group of people similar to a secondary school class. I realised that I have often complained about authority in the past. But this is a new can of worms altogether. The person likes to show his authority whenever he can, setting the small group up so that he can punish them and make people react to it so that he has a chance to punish them further and up his internal "happy meter". I don't really know what makes him tick but I suspect it's attention. Which is why he loves wielding his "authority" over this group of people. The thing is that authority given is different from authority earnt. By engaging in his(I'm not really sure about using this word) little mind games, which in my opinion is really bitchy, he has done nothing but piss people off. But hey, any attention is good attention right? Also, being afraid that the group would mistake him as a normal human being, he also likes to frequently display his incompetence, leading to further negative ATTENTION(THIS IS A KEY WORD) being directed at him. The key word, in case you didn't catch it, is attention. Probably to stroke his ego and push up his self esteem which is somewhere buried beneath the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

This low self esteem also leads to the person mentioned to have severe paranoia. An innocuous song which did mention certain mistakes which he committed in one of his displays of incompetence led to me being pulled out and questioned. However, I would like to point out that while the mistakes were being mocked, no names were mentioned. By fitting oneself in the song and being severely pissed off at the person who started it all points to low self esteem. While the song was not the most tactful thing to do, Sir Isaac Newton's 3rd Law does mention that every action will have an equal and opposite reaction. So he should have expected it. And maybe he did. And he was trying to set whoever reacted up for some punishment. And it so happened to be me.

Another thing this person is amazingly skilled at is the shifting of blame. During the massive chaos which he caused in making us rush to places due to the unbelievably short time given, one guy was elbowed in his back, where he happened to be injured before. Immediately, without consideration for who caused the chaotic situation, which coincidentally was himself, he boomed out in a loud and wussy-like voice, "WHO ELBOWED (injured guy)!" I do not even wish to continue.

This, being a first person account, is bound to be biased and to some extent inaccurate. Whether I can be believed or not is entirely based on the reader, as well as possibly other accounts given. As for the guy, I wish him good luck in life. He's not going to go far without lots of it.
