Great analogy!
You did the exact same thing with your 'screenplay' about Christopher Columbus, Uday. Compare the two, you'll find they have quite a bit in common.
Well, I'm a good person in real life too. Why you think of me as a villain is beyond me! Maybe you just need someone to direct your latent hostility against. And because I post a lot of controversial material on this forum, maybe that's why I sometimes come across as a bit of a villain. The truth, really, is that I'm not a villain--just a controversialist who enjoys challenging people's perceptions of the truth--of reality. I don't really think of Yoda, Beale or anyone else as truly villainous. It's just that Yoda and Silver Bullet are guilty of doing some pretty questionable things in here--abusing their authority, as it were, which makes them less than totally good guys, in my book--questionable in their ethics, as it were. As to your justification of your own personal villainous behavior by claiming that "we only act like that to you because you are yourself a villain"--well, how do you know for sure I
am a villain? Maybe you think of me as a villain and yourself as the good guys because, in reality,
you are the villains! (Hypothetically speaking) Like you said, "the villains always think of the good guys as the villains"--in that case, maybe
I am, in fact the good guy, and the reason you think of me as the villain is that
you are the
real villains (again, hypothetically). Or, maybe the truth is that maybe both of us are equally imperfect, equally human, just enemies, for some reason or other, and, as such, because you think of me as your enemy, you portray me as being the villain.
