My kids figure into almost everything I do almost ever since I had them. I wouldn't want them to have to hear about dad getting bailed out of jail for a rash action.
I don't buy the idea that it is human to just strike out at someone, it is the ability to reason that separates us from the chimpanzees. There are indeed certain times that the only way that an issue will be settled is with violence, but those are rare and even then it should be the absolute last resort. I think it makes you more of a man to walk away especially when you know you can enforce your will by force yet choose not to. I know that the women I have found myself with would be far more impressed to see me verbally destroy someone than get into a physical altercation.
Hey now, don't dis my boy Isaac. You wanna step outside?
