You try not to hit first.
Self-control? Sure.
But sometimes confrontation is inevitable. If you are witness to some horrible behavior being perpetrated to weak and defensless people or animals, you have to respond , otherwise you'd be a coward and being a coward (physically or mentally) is not a good thing to be in my book.
My 2 cents worth.
Very interesting concept - would any untrained non-fire fighters would run into a burning seven story high rise to save two small unattended children knowing that you may perish in the process?
OR to what lengths would you go to rescue animals?
OR fight for the rights of the disabled knowing they do not have the resources to pay you?
Is there a sense of moral or social obligation in any of these situations. Does being a "gentleperson" (not just a Gentleman) constitute merely not getting into fights or must a greater measure be attained?
