So, I watched Chuck tonight. On the actual television. It was fun. I don't really have much to say beyond that.

And then I did a meme.

Description:

The Warrior within each of us calls us to have courage, strength, and integrity; the capacity to make goals and to stick to them; and the ability to fight, when necessary, for ourselves or others. Anytime w we stand up to an unfair authority or risk our livelihood for a principle, our Warrior side is active. A Warrior fights against injustice.

Shadow Side:

A Warrior that fights to preserve injustice has fallen to the Shadow side of the Warrior archetype. If the warrior behaviour is primitive, unpleasant, or unproductive or we are always crusading for something or always trying to enlist others then we have been possessed by our inner Warrior.

In the most serious and negative manifestations, the desire to be above others is not checked by any humane feeling or higher values. This Shadow Warrior is competitive, but its striving is not related to any ideals or larger social purpose.

The budding warrior has two major defenses: secrecy and strategic retreat. Good Warriors know that we should never enter a battle until we a re prepared for it. When a Warrior is clearly overwhelmed by superiour force, the Warrior retreats and takes time to rebuild strength. Perhaps they watch and learn new skills. Clever Warriors try to control the battle zone and do not fight until they are prepared enough to have a good chance of winning. The Best Warrior has the wisdom and the courage to know when and where to fight.

The real problem with the Warrior archetype in today’s dat and time is that many so-called Warriors are not true Warriors at all. They are Orphans, calming their own sense of powerlessness by trying to best or control others.

Relationships:

Warriors that are not highly developed may find themselves fighting about everything.

Warriors demand unremitting toughness in Orphans. Orphans often follow warriors and are willing to sacrifice their autonomy because they have no conscious ability to defend themselves.

If a highly developed Caregiver is associated with a Warrior, the Warrior will fight willingly for the good of others.

Wow, pretty awesome meme!

It is rather cool, but I feel I hit 'sometimes' too much for it to be really accurate.

Huh. I took the test and scored high as both the Creator and the Destroyer. So... I'm Shiva!

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

That is kind of awesome.

I came out as a Destroyer. Which makes sense, considering.

But these aren't personality quizes for me, they're tests of my anti-depressants. I can see myself scoring "Orphan" on a bad day, or "Sage" on a very good day. You'd be surprised how tiny amounts of a few chemicals can change how your basic personality is expressed.

Honestly, I think 'destoyer' would have been more accurate for me as well, considering my post-episode conversation where I mention that if I were the main character of Chuck's boss, I would have killed him by now.

Actually, considering that depression runs in my family, I wouldn't be. ^_^

...I would have killed him by now.

I don't care what the police officers say- homicide is always a viable option. (I get the feeling that that particular sentiment is one of the big things that puts me in the "Destroyer" category.)

It always surprises me, though. Brains are weird.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I can think of a lot of situations that fall under the umbrella 'justifiable homicide.'

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Do you feel that fits?

So how is your goal of truth and deception expressed in real life?
