I MADE IT OUT ALIVE!

School days were awesome! I still remember when I made it into the Royal Military College in 2002. It was one of my memorable years as to date. You can say I went through hell when I was there. The seniors are all about ragging and bullying. This one time, I was called by one of my seniors. I don’t know why I was been called up for but I know that it didn't sound good.

When I reached my senior, the moment he saw me, he simply said, “Ferrari, you’re in some deep s**t!”

Then I asked him, “Why Sir?”

He replied. “Simple, I just don’t like you. I just feel like beating the crap out of you because I just hate you!”

From this conversation, my senior have applied Petitio Principii fallacy in which he used the word of the same meaning to attack me. This can be seen on the phrase “Simple, I don’t like you. I just feel like beating the crap out of you because I just hate you!” 

The phrase I don’t like you and I just hate you means essentially the same thing. This can be considered as Petitio Principii fallacy for it's principle that stated, “S is true, because S is true.”

Life in the Royal Military College wasn’t that easy. Sometimes the seniors would just bash you because they don’t like you. But at the same time, it teaches you on how to survive. At the end of the day, you'd be glad to know you made it out from there alive.
