How peaceful are you?

It is funny..there was a time in my life when the most important thing to me was fighting.. lots of fights in school..and more fighting...eventually got kicked out of high school..went in the Army, in the Infantry, more fighting..got out, lived in Boston for about a year, more fighting..joined the Marine Corps, Infantry, Pershing gulf, Somalia and more fighting with anyone, with more hatred imaginable, got kicked out of there..guess what..more fighting..probably no less than 200 fights in my life..loss some, won some..although that never really mattered..what mattered was the conflict, the pain and the enjoyment I felt from it. Then I met an awesome lady and by chance she got pregnant..then the day my daughter was born, the moment when I heard her first cry, I cried and knew that my life had changed..havent been in a fight since, and she is 14, almost 15..

Over the years I have made a concious effort to try and continue my quest for peace...I have done many things that have helped me get to where I am today..which is a very peaceful person, inward and outwardly, but to this day, nothing has humbled me more than the day I heard her first cry..I think it is pretty trippy

P.S. Lots of weed and lots of miles in the mountains has helped out quite a bit to..haha

 

wanna hug? :hug: i'm pretty mellow... usually.

 

I am very peaceful.

Studying Martial Arts channeled my aggression.

My spiritual quest showed me a better path.

Weed helped me chill though.

 

some weed smokers are nowhere close to chill though..

anyways.. I'm pretty peaceful. violence is for the weak, and I'm pretty strong, at this point of my life.

 

I'm mostly peaceful. I have an inner tension I have to deal with at times, but I generally am pretty calm, mellow. It takes alot to rile me, but WHEN IT DOES, I can be hell on heat.

 

yeah, can we all say ghetto?


i'm extremely peaceful about 98 percent of the time. i've never actually been in a real fight, where me and the other person honestly wanted to hurt each other. then again, the awesome ladies i've met don't get pregnant by chance, so obviously there is something to be said for the violent lifestyle too

 

I've never gotten into a fight in my life. I've never had any need to fight anyone. I personally think fighting is almost as low as a person can go. There are far more intelligent and productive ways at getting through to people than with violence.

 

Im non aggresive. It takes alot for me to even be outwardly opposing to someone, I have to deal with a very mean person at work, and I dont even say anything to her. I Think thats why Im attracted to assertive men. Im very a conflict resolver and balancer. Though I sometimes WISH I was more bold. I have studied karate since I was eight. And I went to frnch school my whle life. Its given me a hell of alot of discipline.

 

couldn't aggree more..

 

no, it's because you're a girl. all girls love "assertive" men. it's just that girls can't tell the difference between being assertive and being a huge asshole

 

As peaceful as they get.

 

Actually, the intelligent girls like Cate can tell the difference. A few girls can. But I admit, there are alot that don't always make the best decisions in the regard, it's a shame.

 

Wow, thank you droopy snoopy.

 

Mmm, I got into a physical altercation with a boy once. I was 17 or so when it happened.

We were working the fields during the summer and this guy was a total jerkface who liked to talk down to my sister and my friend just for shits. On a hot day, he yanked my hoe from out of my hands and said that he was going to keep it. I decided that I'd had enough.

So, we ended up fighting each other - I don't remember any punches - but for maybe half an hour we were trying to pry the garden hoe out from each other's hands. He picked me up in the air and tried to sling me to the ground a couple times, but I somehow kept my footing. His friend joined in, and at one point they both held onto the hoe on each end and I was hanging from it with my hands and feet like a poached hog on a stick. Then they tried to drop me, but it didn't work. I eventually started kicking and shoving the jerk around as much as possible until he wrestled me to the ground, got up and then was dragging me through the dusty earth as I continued to clutch onto the garden hoe and pull myself up to it between each heave of his drag.

I ended up breaking the hoe in half, as I pulled my weight down onto it as he was trying to yank it up and away from me.

It was pretty vicious to watch, from what I hear.

 

I would not get into a fight with a redhead.

 

that seriously sounds scary.

not that different from fighting over an axe if you ask me

 

because you wouldn't know if you gave him a head wound?

 

Actually, I've broken up so many fights, too many too count. I usually use my quick words to cool guys off and walk away or I go in and separate the two. I really don't like fighting.

 

two guys fighting one chick? ok, cool.

I've been in a couple of fights, when I was a kid, and one fight when I was, oh, 22 maybe. was drunk out of my mind. now I'm quite peaceful and wouldn't get into a fight except in an extreme situation, like someone spitting in my face or otherwise being majorly disrespectful.

 

I'm a pussy cat totally non violent... I loved Geonagual's story though. So you're a military man,eh? Thanks for doing your time for your country. I appreciate it. My son is a trama medic in the army. I have heard some really bad tales. The army SUCKS! I wish he was home sharing a blunt with me.

Never understood the need to hurt someone else I guess its all in the chemical soup you happen to be made of.

Glad you're chillin now Geo.
