How Can You Be Sure?

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

 

That poor old woman - but how was you to know that when she threw her arm in the air it was only to stroke your hair and say what a nice man you are? How was you to know that she was not going to hit you?

 

 

In most confrontational situations there comes a point when you will need to think about getting physical but that is not as easy as it sounds. Having someone wave their fist at you and shout all kinds of threats does not mean they will attack you, in fact it could mean the total opposite.

 

If someone is truly intent on knocking your head off then they will not waste time warning you in advance and giving you the chance to get ready for them, they will just do it, no warning and no messing about beforehand.

 

Many confrontational situations are often no more than acts of aggression and showing off to make themselves look tough, more-so if it's in front of others, and does not mean they have what it truly takes to go head to head and exchange blows, therefore, the problem you will face is how to respond to someone waving their fist in your face without doing more harm than good.

 

Do you remain inactive or do you punch their lights out? There are no rules or words of advice when it comes to a situation of that nature, only instinct and how you feel at that split second in time, and the hope that luck is on your side that day.
