There is often

only one thing standing between those that have a
fight and those that run away -ego. This controlling muscle
has had much exercise in this capricious society and is the
curse of the 20th century. More fights and contentions are
caused by the ego than any other single factor. This comes
back to what I said earlier, correct training and combative
hardship corrodes the control of the ego and puts you back in
charge. You will no longer be dragged around the yard by
your ego, you will have the confidence to walk away.
Escape is often a lot easier than one may think and doesn't
always involve elaborate planning or strategy, just pure
common sense.
