Love, honor, dignity. I was one of the quiet and reserved ones while growing up so I tended to let people walk all over me. It’s not very often that it happens very more – at a certain age you get tired of taking people’s bullshit.
It is important to stand up for yourself (even if you’re the only one standing).
I never take people’s bull. Never have. I remember when i was 8 i was at the boys and girls club. This 13–14 year old boy tried stealing my candy. I got up, warned him. And he didn’t listen. I knew i had hardly a chance but i walked over to him and kicked him between the legs. I got my candy back.
My children. Hurt them and I’ll allow them to spit on your grave. I’d fight to the death and do all manner of reprehensible things to protect and avenge my children. I’m worse than a mother bear.
Are we talking physical fighting or any kind of fighting? Because I don’t do physical fighting. I’ve never had to. Everything else is a decision about how far to push it that is made on the spot. I can’t give you a line in the sand. The line keeps getting blown away by the wind no matter how many times I try to draw it.
So there’s always a cost benefit analysis. It seems to work. I’m doing pretty well.

Sorry I stepped on your question with my lame response, I’ve been up all night snorting Ritalin and drinking codeine cough syrup, little out of it.
