Anarchy
Posted August 28th, 2008 by OgreCategories: (ex)Step-Daughter
My former step-daughter just got herself a tattoo. I guess it’s a way for her to celebrate her coming of age. I don’t have a problem with that. I have a tattoo. I’m even considering getting another one. I don’t consider her choice of location to be well thought out. Putting a tattoo on the lower arm means it’s difficult to hide it in situations where it might not be a good idea. Not everyone is opened minded about tattoos. Also, her tattoo includes the anarchy symbol (a stylized “A”). I hope she doesn’t believe in that fringe group’s ideals. Anarchy is not a pretty thing.
Throughout history, anarchy has always meant the weak are preyed upon by the strong. Anarchy means pain, suffering, and death for most people, with the powerful using them as their slaves and taking what they want, whether it’s property or a woman’s virtue. Anarchy is not something to celebrate.
However, she is still young and, as is so typical with the young, this kind of thing is a standard part of youthful rebellion. It’s not unexpected and most of the time it does not cause long term damage.
And just to be clear, despite it including the anarchy symbol, I actually like her tattoo design. It’s rather cool.
