Very true. Before you find yourself in a situation where you have to act, you cannot really know what you would do to defend yourself. I for one certainly never considered that I would even be *able* to act violently in self-defence - but when it came to the crunch, I realised I could and would. I am now a much more confident person as a result, and completely re-evaluated my thoughts on use of violence. In situations like that, anger can be a life-saver - and until you're there, you don't know the extent of anger you are capable of.
