RE: #Freewrite: Too Much Beating (short story)
Strength is not always in victory! And sometimes, walking away, is in deed strength
It is crisp enough to relay its message, @ahmadmanga.

Yup, in this case strength was the determination, to stand up again and again even though that will lead to his death. I want to write more about the inner mind of the bully. But that's for another day... Thanks for Reading~
The other way of looking at the weakness, that i am insinuating at, is from your perspective, you who won the fight, and yet would say:
That looks an admission of regret, namely that despite wining the bout, you hadn't really found the satisfaction expected from winning. Your final mindset is overall that despite wining, you were actually the weaker.
Walking away, despite his (the loser) persistence to keep the fight on, especially since you knew/saw you were obviously wining the fight, would have , in my opinion been the highest demonstration of strength.
There is probably another angle, but i think this is worth considering. Anyways, that is the beauty of the narrative - leaving many angles!
Never thought of that before (maybe I did but not for this story), this is a very intereseting perspective, thank you.
Yeah, in that regard both of them are mentally strong. A truly weak person will submit to his pride and would only stop after killing the other...
Humans can be so complicated~
The pleasure is mine. Thanks
