Woohoo! I bet you scared them!

And actually, that is so close to the mark with how I motivated myself to remain non-confrontational even though I love to smash, its very cathartic too... but oh so short term.

Basically, just deciding, hey my value: to be right/to show someone a lesson/to prove I am tough enough is not as important as other values. They aren't worth it. They are not even looking for enlightenment. If they were worth helping/instructing then, yea... spend the energy and deal with the outcome as it goes.

As that ole Marcus Aurelius would say: 'The best revenge is to be unlike he who performed the injury'. Or something. Pity their small ways
