OK, good point -- by all means enjoy having defended yourself. Just don't enjoy inflicting suffering on others (lest you become a bully yourself).

- lhorie 16y agowell duh :) FWIW, the other day I read about a research (and this matches my personal anedoctes) that younger brothers (i.e. the ones who usually get bullied by the older brothers) tend to show more empathy towards other people than older ones. In contrast, psychopaths almost always have a history of being a victim of child abuse by family members. So, in my mind, values coming from the authority figures in a family are really on a whole different level than simply having maturity. >> enjoy having defended yourself Uh. I think the term we should be using here is "relief".
