My home invasion example really happened to me. Although I was caught by suprise by a perp armed with a pistol, I regained my presence of mind quickly enough to ascertain his motives, get a gut-check on the level of violence I was facing, and get a very good look at the perp in a mirror which lead to his conviction. Justice served. And if I had become a murder victim that day, I would have died with peace, not fear in my heart. I can think on no better way to go. [img]smile.gif[/img] edited for clarity.

Whew I am glad my neighbors refrain from Sunday 7:00am lawn-mowwing. That could lead me to thoughts of violence.

I am a passive aggresor by nature. Just yesterday, some people were arguing about driving to fast on our road outside and I walked up to kinda referee the altercation. I use my agresion to make sure the altercation stays physicaly passive, if that makes any sense. In other words, I am a bouncer at heart. I use my size and intimidating stance to keep things from getting out of control. Kinda like the US, in my opinion. Sometimes the agresion needs to take over to protect the weaker from being victimized. Once again, like the US. This can be percieved as arrogent, but I see it as an obligation. The passive part of me wants and hopes the aggresive side will not be needed, but sometimes is, once again like the US. Just my little analogy on this issue.
