Well, here's something for you guys to read. Its a quote, and sort of a story from my friend.

Just quite recently, my friend somehow got into an assault situation, where she was out studying with her friend, and walked home during the evening/night when suddenly a gang of bicycle riders came and circled around them. 6 girls and one guy, mind you. My friend, a girl, and her other friend, also a girl, being very ethical people, ignored them and walked on, despite the fact that these brats keep spitting, smoking and swearing at them, asking for a punch (Yes, they asked whether they would punch them) and all that, my friend was nearly at her doorstep when they pulled her hair, and she was on the verge on hitting them, but she held back, despite their swearing and all and walked on into her home. Now, she posted this in a forum, where me and other people work, telling us her experience and asking for our opinions and whatnot.

Here's what one of the admins said:

I have a story, told to me by a friend.

One day, when my friend was but a young child, he was playing with his toys, inside his house. His mother was on the phone in the next room. My friend, in his youthful ignorance, accidentially threw one of his toys at his mother. The toy was flung through the room, and bonked his dear mother right in the kisser.

His mother got up, walked over to him, and slapped him.

He looked at her in shock. She had never, never hit him.

...and she said "When someone hits you, you hit back."

She never had to hit him again.

Don't ever believe someone who tells you not to fight back. I don't care if it's your mom, your dad, or whoever. They're filthy liars who've been brainwashed by a coddled society that relies on "some other guy" to take care of their problems, and fear of being socially ostracized.

If you're sitting down, having a discussion with someone, you fight. With words, yes, but you fight. You try to convince the other party that you are in the right. Never would a man with even a hint of self-respect allow someone else to simply expound their beliefs without rebuttal. This is verbal combat. The keener intellect wins. Only a sad and desperate person resorts to physical violence in a verbal dispute.

In physical combat, you usually can't talk your way out. It's physical, that's the whole point. You fight with your body, not your mind. You're not trying to prove a complicated philosophical point. If you're fighting in self-defense, you're telling the other party to back the fuck off before you mess their shit up. It's as simple as that. You don't win by being the nice guy. You don't win by ignoring them. If you take it like a little bitch, you become one.

So maybe you'll lose. They messed YOUR shit up. It happens.

At least you tried. At least you had the balls to stand up. At least you didn't get sucker punched on the back of the head like a little pansy.

You're weak? Start training. You can't fight? Read up. Learn how to throw a goddamn punch. Let every defeat become motivation to become stronger.

Have some GOD.DAMNED.BRAVERY.DAMNIT.

Am I big and buff? Am I a trained killer? Hell no. Will I let anyone mess my shit up without a fight? Not a fucking chance. I'll take the chance the other guy's not trying to kill me, and if I do get fucked up, at least I went out with guts.

Lol, excuse the swearing. But what he said actually made some sense, well, to a certain extent. Haha, I'm not saying that he's right all the way, but perhaps this is his insight. His way of seeing things, because he likes winning and all, and doesn't like being invaded or insulted. I feel that way too, sometimes. But most of the time, I try to shut up. Lol. Well, just wanted to post something, so here's something. Ponder upon it, and come up with your own opinion. =) I have my own, but its late night, so I won't be blogging something long. Night folks, enjoy the blog. XD No flaming activity in the tagboard please, I beg you. =) Have a nice day. Oh, btw, our business was succesful, we have around $250 and the business continues till the end of the year, in a much smaller scale, lol. Any queries, please ask, don't be shy. XD

it's 11:02 PM now
