Today in the parking lot while shopping, a man banged his cart into my car. I said "hey, watch what you're doing" and he rushed to confront me face to face. Normally, I am not a violent person, but he placed his hand on me and shoved me, not hard, just being a tough guy. My keys are on a ring. I don't know why, but I punched him in the eye with the keys. I really beat the crap out of him. The cops came. There may be charges pressed against me, but none at this time. Never before have I had such a violent outburst. I hope that never happens again. I honestly have no idea what came over me, at the same time, I have no regrets for what I did. I was defending myself. I may have over reacted, but he was the one who made the initial threatening action and I just felt I had to defend myself at the time.
My wife thinks now that I've let the "genie out of the bottle" I may very well be prone to violent acts again. I truly hope not. How can I be sure this was a one time thing? Thanks.
