Deep Ego Problem

[daniellange]

Now thats clear language.

Yes it would make a good story.

Yes people want revenge, though I'm sort of utilistic, best revenge is the one that brings the same amount of damage to them as they did to you. Though beating them up aint easy. Getting them locked away for a while is a good compensation. Hence the punishment would be more fit for the crime, and my revenge is complete.

And if you live in one of those states where you can shoot someone attacking you in your domestic enviorment, go for it :P

In all honesty, it might be ego, I think its just a human craving for revenge. Mine is just a little more sophisticated I guess

It's an interesting article that you posted.
Within it; I've found what I was looking for.

This concept is especially applicable in a street confrontation, where fear of perceived loss of 'respect' will often motivate a beta (who is trying to convince everyone he is an alpha) to over react.

Know that AMOGs and fighting etc. is one area that confused me. Coming out on top/alpha against a female is fine because she is predisposed to let you. She WANTS you to be that way. But AMOGing is different. Will have to go down as a sticking point.

I respect you for being able to acknowledge that. And you're welcome .

Talk to lovedrop about Amogging, he's the king.

Luckily in Texas we can carry concealed handguns. I would have told the dude alright if you wish to assault me go ahead. (Pull out Sig 40 caliber.. wait for ambulance to come get his corpse) A simple assault can lead to brain damage if he hits you in the head, you never know what will happen with a head wound man.

I'm not sure what the rules on owning a firearm are here in the UK. I'm fairly certain they're only allowed for hunting.

Being able to defend your property in such a way sounds like the way forward to me though.

I get a feeling that, in a way, you want this to be an ego problem. Hence the whole "would you agree that it's an ego problem?" question. I think that the real reason you are asking this question though is because you want to get the whole issue down to one thing. Subconsciously you want to isolate it and and dispose of it.

Here is a tip. Don't carry grudges. They are self destructive. You learned Krav Maga not just to be able to show those tools that you can fight back. You learned it so that if the need arose again you would be able to defend yourself. It's for self defense. You said that much yourself. So don't try to use your training for a different purpose.

If your grudge carried you through your training and helped you stay motivated than it already did its job. Discard it now. Think of it this way:your desire to fight those tools is your only remaining connection with who you were then. Be who you are now. Be a stronger you that you are (I think you know what I mean). Chances are, if you embrace this line of thinking and accept that you don't have to show that you're tough you won't be messed with again.

So accept that you are a different person now and allow yourself to move on. And remember a real AMOG wouldn't come with 9 other guys to fight just one guy.
