True power is knowing that you can, but you don't.
I think that says it all. One of the toughest things you can do is walk away from a bad situation. Fighting is a perfect example.
Sure, there have been times when I just felt like getting in a fight and there have been times that it couldn't be avoided. But in most cases, after the fight was done I'd feel bad. Either because I lost or because I really hurt someone. There wasn't a single time that I can think of that I've felt bad about walking away after saying what I needed to say. Some took that as weakness and some didn't. Sometimes I still ended up in the fight but only because I wasn't given a choice.
I think self control is critical for a happy life.
