I work in an enviroment where pyhsical altercations can happen at any time. Today, I nearly got involved in one. Part of me wanted to beat the person down, but another part of me chose not too. Also, the adrenaline rush scared me a bit, but I think that was because of how many I could possibly be up against. Does that make a person a coward?

No. It doesn't make you a coward. You got the adrenline rush because you were in the 'fight or flight' mode. It doesn't take brains to solve anything by fighting. Your restraint is admirable & shows that you have good instincts. You know that fights can only lead to worse & you want better for yourself. Try to keep it up; I hope you can find some way of avoiding circumstances which would place you in a situation in which fighting would become necessary.

Does he have an income? confident, one; if the guy being attacked is untrained it would be sufficient. it incredibly is why Martial Arts exist -- to grant somebody weaker a vogue of struggling with returned. there is not any computerized victory. while an even bigger invading tension threatened Greece, 3 hundred Spartans at Thermopoli held the bypass to sidestep them from passing. whilst they died to the final guy, they bought sufficient time for the Greeks to accumulate a military to oppose and finally force out the invading Persians. it incredibly is martial artwork -- controlling the words of the combat to sidestep instant victory. while confronted with an even bigger opponent, draw him into smaller environment. while he pushes, pull. while he pulls, push. Use his power against him to coach his income to a draw back. there's no longer something assured in life. each little thing is approximately possibilities. Even the main doubtless certainty could be failed by utilising one small oversight.

If you're smart enough you won't fight, talk to the person with kindness and you won't only prevent a fight but may gian respect and a friend. Fighting solves nothing because in the end the person wil still believe he/she is right and will resent you.

This makes a person more not less! More intelligent ;o) Violence is the way that people -which are closer to their animal nature- solve their differences! The others -that know how to talk- can solve a problem in a more polite and civilized way ;o)

As Kenny Rogers said in "Coward of the County,"
"Walk away from trouble if you can. It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek. You don't have to fight to be a man."

in my opinion
a person is a coward when a new situation is thrust upon them, and they cringe instead of taking it head on
but choosing not to fight when an incident occurs makes a person more human, because animals would charge right in and fight, but humans have the ability to control their emotions and actions more

This depends, it does not make a girl a coward, but it certainly turns the boy into one.
Sorry,
Perhaps you are right,
but I don't see it this way.
Besides, if you do not stand up for yourself the first time, this will keep on hapening.

No, it does not make me less of a person .But if you had affixed words like right / just right / justice etc . my reply would have been yes . After all there has to be a worthy cause to bring the beast out in me .
