He told me
that, about a
minute before they initiated their threat, he had noticed them
approach and had the chance to make a hasty retreat in the
opposite direction, he actually felt like grabbing his family
and running away but thought that cowardly. No, he couldn't
allow himself to do that. Why? Because his ego wouldn't
allow it. He felt that he had to stay put, like the huntergatherer
he was conditioned to think he was, and protect his
family.
