Friday Discussion

When someone insults and threatens someone, the best case scenario for that person, is like we discussed in class that someone else steps in and stops him. This certain person has showed how "tough" he is without really having to do anything. Although this concept is accurate, it is not something you would normally think of. In general, one would believe that being held back from a fight would anger you more, but in reality, it saves you from all the trouble without taking away any of your dignity. However, i do not think it is true that all people do this on purpose and search for a person to stand in between. Some people are blinded by either rage or revenge that they see nothing but red and act without thinking, only to regret it later. I can tell you this by experience. Nevertheless, i agree that religion is one type of wall that stops you from this type of behavior, but it is not the only wall. As you grow, i think you become more mature and realize that fighting or trying to look like an alpha male in front of everyone is not that important.
