As a person who would align their philosophy with Karate and Buddhism in the arena of "Never strike first, never strike out of anger," I can see now that it was probably not the best plan. It really was done out of a desire to make him "feel whats coming" because I felt like if I did nothing he would skate by without any realistic ramifications for his actions. This would make him more likely to repeat it in the future. If, by striking him, I would show him that were consequences for his actions, I would feel justified. Is this not a valuable lesson? Or is just not mine to dole out?
In order for me to "get in front of him" and prevent him from cutting, I would have had to, myself, cut 3 or 4 people. After he got his tickets, I knew he would be walking back past me and I chose that moment to strike.
So -- in retrospect; more words before fists, less frustration and more clarity. Aye?
