with a physical threat to your person? Me, a hawk, hardly. I'm as hippie dippy peace loving as they come (believe it!). But that gives no one the right to assault my person. I respond at my discretion. I live in a major metropolitan area. Plenty of *ssholes, not enough turlit seats to put them on. I'm usually long gone before there is even a hint of confrontation.
Follow Ups:
before aggession starts. I believe one needs to be proactive in preventing violence. One must approach life with flexibility, and open mind, and a sense of empathy to achieve on-going peace. Something that most nations do not do well at all, IMO.To your question, when faced with aggression, I've always managed to settle the confrontation without killing or even hurting anyone. I long ago imposed a self restriction on violence and have always managed to find another way, another solution to any potentially violent situation. Without that restriction, it's far to easy to resort to duking it out.
encountering a person who is beyond any reason. Luck seems to be with you. On one occasion three years ago, I was with a person who was recovering from large invasive surgery a couple of weeks prior. Avoidance just wasn't possible. The only option was to deal with the pest. The entire event was very calm and measured. I hope that you continue to enjoy your peaceful kharma. As I do. But I always pay attention to my surroundings. And am always ready, should my thinking fail to keep me out of the path of those who aren't as mellow.
