Choosing to physically hurt someone over a dispute does not preclude you from being a coward. It takes more courage to not succumb to your emotions, exercise self-restraint, and practice kindness. It doesn’t make you unwilling to fight. It means you aren’t easy to manipulate. If your first instinct to resolve problems is to throw fists, it shows you’re emotionally immature. It also means when you do get into a fight, anyone who knows how to fight will be able to use those emotions to manipulate you.
Look, you do you bro. Just something to think about.
