I don't choose my battles, they choose me.
------------------------------------------
Eariler today, I beat the crap out of a couple a idiots. I had a good 50 pounds on them and martial arts training so I knew there was no way in hell they would win. Now I usually can keep my clam, but sometimes it just comes out, mostly when they think they can win by ganging up on me. Let me start at the beginning thou...
This morning, I woke up and did the usual saturday morning routine. Wake up, shower, eat, get dressed, play video games, call my friends. By 1:00 or 2:00 i usual head out, either to hang with my buds or my FB's. Depends how i'm feeling, but today I wanted to just take a nice walk down memorie lane. I visited an old neighboorhoud I used to live in(walked). I finally got to an old park I used to play in.
At the park I found this hot babe, sitting on a bench. So I do my thing. After awhile I(like a minute) I realized that it was an old friend! She used to be the only girl who hung out with me(I was dork, she was tomboy). So I start to catch up when A few guys come up to the bench. It was an old elementry school bully and his "gang". He starts by calling me old, cruel nicknames, telling me a loser could get his Maddi, etc...
Now clearly I give her my number I start to walk away. But no, no, no, he must try and make me look like a loser again, and intimdated me. Then he brings up shit about how he used to bully me and then he made his mistake. He brought my beilfs into it. I deeply respect the soldiers, and how brave they are. He goes on a rant, demoralizing them, me and my dead father. Then, to add to that, he tried and punched me.
I didn't realized that he'd hit me until the third time he hit me in the balls(what a dirtbag). He friends are laughing until I tear him a new one. I punch him in the gut and then smash him face into my knee. His friends try to help but most didn;t dare attack me, the few that did, got knocked out. They brought out my last resort beast. The chick in the mean time, called an ambluence(she was afraid before I was gonna get my ass kicked). After I finish him, the guys drag their friends away.
I still feel that I did the right thing, standing up to a past demon, for my beliefs, and for a cause. Is in wrong though to have hurt him, when I have some good amount of muscle and training on him? Was I wrong in hitting him? What about his friends? They were just trying to stick up for a buddy(even though he is an asshole).
What about fighting in general? Is it wrong to hurt, or even kill people? Like think as fighting in general, from war to school yard.
I think that fighting for a cause is possible, or even between to guys who agree to fight each other, not because they have problems but because they want to try. Although, I think of it as a last resort tool.
