Is Fighting really worth it?

[body snatcher]

Some things have happened recently round my way that started to question my viewpoint on fighting. Of course growing up everybody except the nerds wanted to be that tough guy with the rep. So I actually used to start fights a lot over the dumbest shyt. I grew out of that but I would still never back down from any fight and would find a way to get involved in a fight that initially had nothing to do with me. But recently theres been some events that are changing my viewpoints on fighting.

I KOd someone and I got scared because he wasnt waking up. He smashed his head on the concrete real heavy after the punch. It was a hospital job where he had to be carried into a car and took to emergency. He had to stay in for a day I think. So that night Im just thinking how I killed someone and how I was going to be in prison for the rest of my life. The next day the police found me at a park and arrested me. But thankfully it wasnt for murder or manslaughter So yeah that event changed me a bit.

Then a couple of recent incidences. One where some guy was killed with one punch quite local to me. He got KOd and just never woke up. And some guy got jumped by 5 man and beat to death in my area.

So these events made me think how stupid it is to get into street fights and what really is the point? In this generation does it really assert your dominance over somebody? I mean you can KO some man and look like hot shyt to your friends or whatever and that same man could have a 400k job for all you know. While you broke as shyt are you really the dominant male?

These events for me made me realise life is about self-preservation. What say you?

I've never STARTED a fight in my life, but unfortunately some people only respond to physical force. I have a tremendous amount of respect for myself, any time someone makes me start losing even a bit of that self respect and words aren't enough to deter them


Basically, don't start none won't be none

the existential fears of a young boxer: is fighting worth it

if you subscribe to the school of solipsism, nothing is worth it unless you feel it directly impacts you because you are the only thing that holds any value

the ennui of mortality ebbs against the shores of our psyche in many different ways, it's up to you to ride the wave bruv

Im not talking about boxing or any scheduled contact sports. Just strictly street fights. I think boxing is a great sport that makes men of boys.

I never really thought it was worth it. People take things too far now, people don't knuckle up, fight and leave the issue as resolved. They want to kill you over pride. As an adult you have too much to lose fighting.

My cousin went to jail because he knocked a person out and killed him. The other guy started it, and it was self defense but he had to do like 2 years. When he got out the guy he had killed, friends were trying to him.

Ok. So i take it you are some monster fighter that has never lost a fight? Wheres your self respect when you unconscious on the floor? Nobody respects the guy that gets knocked out even if you were defending yourself and your "pride".

You think people are talking about these guys that got killed and saying "oh he went out like a man". They saying how they died over dumb shyt.

When do you suck it up and put that fake ego bullshyt to the side to preserve your health and just walk away.

Yep it goes both ways. You can be that guy that got killed over dumb shyt or you can end up a killer and in prison with some real monsters. Either way nobody wins.

It all depends on what you're fighting for

Maybe I misunderstood your post. But what I read from your post is that youll fight someone the moment your self respect is in question? Im just not sure thats the best way to go about it anymore.

i dont know u, nor have i ever read a post from u, but i'm actually happy to read, for your own good, that you've come to this conclusion.

i've always said it, fighting should only be reserved for when someone attacks u or a loved one. in those situations, you have every right to beat that person into another dimension, if u have the capability. but fighting over irrelevant things, and risking the chance of going to prison is never ever a good idea. i see these worldstarhippop videos and i feel sorry for these fatherless figures that are on there acting barbaric.

right now, I agree Fighting is def not worth it

but back in junior high/elementary I was down for anything, people didn't cross me much but when they did, they paid for it

I fought in the cafeteria once and in a classroom. I threw the first punch in both of those fights (I had a short temper)but they both had it comin

over the years my temper has calmed down tho

The best victory is to win without actually fighting. Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. - SUN TZU

Unless your life is in danger it's best to avoid fights because worse case nobody wins. Also remember verbal attacks are an assault on you mentally not physically, so if somebody calls you names , curses at you and you respond physically then you lost and have shown mental weakness.
