I have an intense amount of study right now. A thing I like to do to loosen my mind is writing.

So I wrote a story about a confrontation my father had while overseas. A man was getting into his wife verbally and abusively with complete disregard for the fact they were on a public bus. She attempted to get away from him on the bus but he kept haranguing her and apparently it was quite intense.

Finally, my Dad stood up and said 'I am not going to be a silent witness to your abuse of your wife.' And stood up to him. The guy stopped his rant. My Dad then spoke to his wife and hoped she could have a good day. She mouthed her thanks.

Now, people critiquing my story had this to say - Your Dad probably made things worse for her. He probably aggravated her situation and potentiated something more hostile when they got away from the public.

That made me wonder. Would you stand-up , or NOT fearing a worse outcome for the abused woman later?

I would probably not stand-up, fearing a worse outcome for me.

I have stood up to a bully before in the face of threat. Got knocked down and kicked in the head. I'm not sure I would engage that situation next time, tho I'd like to think I would.

When I was kid, how I dealt with a bully is ambushed him with a big rock when he's completely preoccupied with something else.

Pretty much broke him and never bullied anyone again. He survived my attack so it's a happy ending for everyone.

I often tell this story, in case anyone has a kid who is a bully. Their life might be in danger if they come across a kid who's just like me. I'm quite devious even at a very young age. I plotted in silence.

I ride the bus, and one time this guy who I think was with this disabled chick (woman) with a walker, and I could tell they were probably previously fighting and probably not getting along, but somehow I could tell it was not much due to her, and that maybe she put up with this kind of abuse (I would call it) from this, I thought, very immature man...

She had tears in her eyes and he was sitting across from here purposely in, I think, a very pouting and upset way, and it made me mad, just the way he was with her, they were not getting unruly on the bus, but I could just tell that the guy, or the man, or the boy, was a very immature one... I bit my tongue, and was I glad when I reached my stop and could get off the bus, cause it was getting to me, and pretty badly at that, it was making me very, very angry... I think she was on disability, and he was an abusive user who was taking advantage of her (or at least that's what I was thinking, but don't know for sure)... I don't think he had a job or was supporting her or anything, I think it was the other way around...

But, some women do "pick wrong" a lot, and on purpose sometimes, and sometimes their is nothing you can do and you can actually make matters worse for them, or the female, in this case... They tend to like a lot of "passion", a lot of emotion, but I would say that passion/emotions/feelings would come at too high a price for me, but, whatever...

I leave it alone usually, if those women want help, they are going to have to help themselves by getting out of the situation or by stopping picking those kinds of men (boys)...

Unfortunately a lot of women like and prefer "boy-toys" over real men...

God Bless!
