Violence is brutally beautiful. In both victory and defeat, the mind transcends its limitations, expanding in ways that only conflict can provide. Each encounter with violence becomes a lesson, reshaping the understanding of strength and resilience.


The body, too, undergoes a profound metamorphosis. When bones fracture under pressure, they don’t simply heal; they mend stronger. Similarly, as flesh is pressed and strained, it thickens and callouses.


In the brutal savagery of a violent natured person, each scar tells a story—of pain endured, of battles fought, and of the indomitable spirit that refuses to be crushed. Violence, while harsh and unforgiving, catalyzes a transformative process that can elevate the human experience, revealing both the fragility and the strength that coexist within us.


The spirit is a resilient part of the mind, enduring trials whether in victory or defeat. A defeated spirit acts like an anchor, its weight pulling us deeper into ourselves, stifling momentum and spiraling into a chasm of self-doubt. This downward spiral, if left unchecked, can become crippling.


Conversely, a victorious spirit can bring a sense of ease. Victories may come more readily, such triumphs can also lead to accusations of favoritism or luck from those who do not share in that success. Victors often revel in their achievements, becoming addicted to the thrill of winning. They pour their energy into relentless training, prioritizing their craft above all else.


However, this singular focus is a double-edged sword. When attention shifts away from the rigorous demands of training, even the slightest deviation can jeopardize their success. The margin between victory and defeat narrows, reminding us that winning is not merely a product of talent; it is a burden of relentless preparation and commitment.


The taste of blood and the grinding of teeth from a powerful overhand punch evokes different reactions in men: for some, it breeds cowardice, while for others, it ignites a hostility, psychopathic fervor. The moment of impact, when knuckle meets the bridge of the nose, sends a jolt through the senses—an alarm that rings deep within. For a flashing second, there's an urge to sneeze, an odd reflex that quickly morphs into a throbbing, stabbing pressure that radiates through the skull.


This collision shakes the brain's fluid, causing the soft tissue that cushions the skull to quiver violently. In that instant, a spark of light might pierce the darkness, or a momentary blackness may envelop the vision, often accompanied by the sensation of stars bursting across the field of sight. Such overwhelming stimuli can paralyze the body, freezing muscles in a state of shock.


For the psychopath, there is no moment of relaxation. They only exist in a constant state of anticipation, their bodies primed for violence at any given moment. As a strike approaches, their neck tightens, and instinctively, their head dips—calculating the trajectory to ensure that the fist connects with skull bone rather than the bridge of the nose. This forehead may bring more pain to the striker than to the intended target, and for the psychopath, this is merely a prelude to the violence they thrive in.


Rage becomes their ally. Violence is not merely an act; it is a familiar friend—simple, direct, and incredibly fulfilling. They find clarity and purpose, reveling in the raw power of their actions, unbound by the moral constraints that confine others.


The raw emotions of liberation through violence are both profound and unsettling. Soldiers, scarred by the horrors of war, return home to their children, haunted by the memories of dying children. The cycle of violence breeds heartbreak and a thirst for revenge. True violence, has been stripped of its essence, it has been manipulated by greed, transforming it into a tool for power. Violence should exist only within man and beast. In this distortion, we lose the purity of righteous conflict, overshadowed by the machinery of war.
