RE: How can we handle aggressive situations without getting aggressive ourselves?
I don't think pacifists defend themselves with physical force, or perhaps even in the mental realm. Other than that I agree with your message! Good advice.
How do they defend themselves after getting punched in your opinion? I'm curious. I did get punched at work today.
Also may I ask why you decided to comment without upvoting the post?
Oops. Guess I forgot to upvote. That doesn't happen that often when I actually like the article and the message. There you go. Upvoted.
To answer your question. It really depends on circumstances. If someone is seriously trying to harm you do whatever you feel is required to prevent that harm from happening to you. If it was just sort of like a playful not extremely serious punch, then perhaps give them a similar one back. Really I can't answer that for you or anyone, it's a personal decision each person has to make when their line has been crossed as to how to respond or if they decide to respond at all.
That's also true. I guess each different situation and circumstance is going to be different. Thanks for your insightful comment.
