Irritability is a part of suffering.
- kom107 11y agoI get and appreciate that, but I really don't think it's appropriate to hit someone over a turkey sandwich. If you're able to eat that and walk around on your own and watch the ball game, pretty sure your suffering isn't sufficient to warrant punching a nurse in the chest.
- tertius 11y agoThe appropriate response to assault is getting police involved.
- ectoplasm 11y agoFundamentally I believe non-consensual violence is the result of suffering. I think isolating violent people and protecting yourself is much better than meting out arbitrary punishments. Consider that someone willing to punch a nurse in the chest over a turkey sandwich very likely has some kind of mental health issues. If the assault is actually a problem on the level of a crime, then call the police.
- tertius 11y agoAgreed with Ectoplasm here. My mother was a psych nurse and this was par for the course. She did not enjoy this part of the job.
