Carl Swindell IV a man is made strong when he realizes his capacity for evil but tames it and keeps it in check. When your enemies realize threat of being annihilated is real they tend not to push too far in that direction. That’s not to say that you annihilate anyone you disagree with but god help the man who takes it too far with a capable man who has his aggression under control but is pushed too far.

"Civilized men in a civilized society are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split" Robert E Howard Creator of Conan the Barbarian You see this with smart-ass college kids probably the most but some of them will carry it later into life if they haven't been taught a lesson. They will run their mouths, and think they're tough because the one they mouth off to knows if they do something the asshole will sue them OR, they (the asshole) will call the cops and then better men than them will show up to enforce (with force if necessary) the norms and laws of the society. The guy who is truly tough doesn't let that asshole and his mouth get under his skin because he/she knows when push comes to shove they will prevail. The asshole on the other hand falsely believes they put someone in their place which they again falsely believe makes them tough. The mouthy asshole most of the time is blissfully unaware that only due to the consequences and some inner discipline the other guy exercised were they allowed to not be "damaged", to some greater or lesser extent. But if society ever breaks down, regardless of the cause, those assholes who love to run their mouths will either learn very quickly, become slaves or die.....probably on their knees, begging for their life.

​@@imtoofly3137 I have two degrees, but I also served in the military so I was around people that could be rather "savage" when they needed to be. Being around people like requires developing a "polite respect" for each person you serve with. Some college educated people don't know how to use what smarts they have and they are counting on society to protect them. It's like a guy who thinks he's tough just because he has a knife or even a gun. If they don't know how to use them effectively they could learn a hard lesson from someone who does. Strength and even ability without the right amount of discipline is far less effective than those who possess all 3.

@@codinginflow Rowling is a clever marketer. She cobbled together all the world’s fairy tales into a literary and film blockbuster. Her first book was so badly written, I had to be persuaded to read the second. Clearly, taught herself how to write better as she went along - but marketing is what she excels in. I don’t read novels now. Seemingly, most novels can be sorted into specific genres. A smart author writes what people are willing to pay for.

Even when I can't overcome, I don't have to whine or despair, I have a dedicated set of steps I can follow to find out the cause and adapt myself in case it comes up again. I can't always prevail in the immediacy. But I will never let the conditions that triggered me the first time to trigger me twice. That is as close to solving my problem as I can get. And it's enough. Like Clara Sousa-Silva with her strategy for building her enormously complex database. Adaptation is often at odds with perfection. I cant perform perfectly. But I can adapt my own consciousness to each failure to ensure my mistakes are limited to a single occurrence.

After high school I fell into drugs and alcohol and it wasn’t until I hit 30 I decided to enlist because I had turned my life around. Unfortunately due to childhood medical issues I couldn’t get into the military. It left me depressed for alittle while because I have this deep sense of a savior complex. I’m the protector of my family and friends, I constantly think tactically of scenarios in public of how to protect those around me, and I feel like a guard dog in a way.
