Hello, dear Steemians! In my previous article, we were discussing how to defend yourself and achieve your goals, playing with your opponent`s self-importance. Yes, this method is good working when your enemy can not bring you a physical harm or you have time to think about your future actions. But there are situations when your enemy can kill you or hurt you.
Let me tell you a little story.
When I was 7 I visited a dance school. My partner, he was tall and thin. His name was Andrew. He used to look so fragile that everybody thought he cannot defend himself. But this guy had a little secret. He took the judo classes and was actually good in this. Andrew was very calm and rarely showed his emotions. We were also neighbors and once were coming back late from the dance school by bus. There were just a few people there and all of them were old. On one bus stop, 3 drunk teenagers came inside the bus and started abusing people all around. They looked dangerous. When they came to Andrew they started to tell him offensive words. He did not react anyway. So, these kids looked around and understood nobody can stop them. So, the most aggressive one grabbed Andrew and raised him. Then everything happened very fast and I even did not have time to react. What I remember is the shocked kid with the broken nose and the rest of them trying to get off the bus. I was so proud of Andrew that day)))
Ok, let`s see what happened. Every negative event usually has kind of similar scenario: bad guy attacks the victim, the victim is crying and asking to not to do anything bad and let it go, it makes extra fun for the offender, the victim never win. Yes, when that guy attacked us they were imagining this chain of events. But if something would go wrong…then so unexpected thing can totally destroy the plans.
Yes, not everybody is a kung-fu master but it is not necessarily should be. You can do anything that does not fit in the typical scenario. For example, you can ask with a serious face “What do you want me to break first your nose or may be to take away the eye? Ohh...I know! Let’s take away your ear!” And then just grab an ear and pull it as hard as you can. The offender will not expect it.
Also, a sense of humor is a good helper in such situation…or you can start behaving like a crazy person…dancing and singing. It is better than to be dead, is not it?
Try to not get involved in the situation completely, imagine for a second that there is a movie and you are the main character. Don’t show your fear or panic. What do you lose? It is better than just cry or beg for pardon.
My dear friends, I don’t tell that this method will save your life in any situation. It is terrible, but some people are just psychopaths, addicts and they don’t care about anything, or it can be a person who has nothing to lose. So, If somebody attacked you with a purpose to take away your money, just give him some, don`t resist. If it can save your life it does not matter…you will earn more. Some people carry some money in their pockets just for this purpose.
My lovely Steemians, please be careful and take care. We live in civilized society, but there people who choose to be out of this system, who reject to accept it. Be ready to protect yourself and your close relatives and friends.
