Why do we take it instead of fighting back?
606652
well if you think about it, for everyone taking it, theres someone fighting back. so in reality its 50-50. some take, some dont. the one harrasing you is fighting you back, and your just taking it. But if you want an asnwer to as why you take it back... well, its because your too afraid. but if you want to make yourself feel better, you can think that you are just too good for them and dont have time to waste on them.

Because we don't actually fight, we try to stop everyone else from fighting.  That will never work!\n\nOh, and the UN would not be happy with is if we did what it would take to actually win a war.

People are born believing they're the centre of the universe. Everything that happens is judged as good or bad from a self-centred viewpoint. Sure we all want to see good things in the world, but effort is bad, so if it takes effort to counter somebody else's evil & it doesn't directly affect you, why bother? It's possible to remain in denial until the world kills you as an "innocent victim", and life will seem easy. As Shakespeare so aptly put it through Hamlet\n"To be, or not to be, that is the question. \nWhether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, \nOr to take arms against a sea of troubles\nAnd by opposing, end them...."\n\nOf course we've all been brought up not to interfere, to give in to anything so that others' peace isn't destroyed, so we don't risk our own lives or disrupt their rest as they wait for the destruction of the world. \n\nThe real question is, do we want to be or not to be something? If so, it involves effort, fighting against apathy, others getting upset at us, risking losing our lives & all we care about sooner than we might if we did nothing. If we just let it happen, that's a recipe for certain anihilation, if we do something, then there's only a 99.999% chance of anihilation.

If we dont pull our fingers out and start doing the right thing surviving will be a definate struggle, I mean it is a struggle already for many people of the World.\nIt seems we are spiralling down the road of destruction but we can make a difference to change that.\nIt starts with us all.

Because we reap what we sow, and we deserve it........we need to learn those lessons the hard way because it makes us a stronger person later on and it builds character, it might teach you to be more responsible and teach you to think before you act the next time. Many reasons.

Because we are human. It is in our nature to destroy as we create. Accept it. There is nothing you can do.

yes we humans are designed to be territorial and against the ones that are not our own. We can evite other conflicts by making sure everybody feels part of the human family.

This was taught to me as a young boy,(i was bullied constantly at school) Him who fights and rund away,may live to fight another day,but him who fights and stands his ground may get his flippin head knocked round.\nyou are not a coward for refusing to engage in violence,you quite possibly maybe the smartest man on the planet.\nAfter taking more hidings than was good for me i decided to fight back,i went as a young boy to a boxing school where i was taught to defend myself,Boxing is the noble art of self defence, and i was very good at it, i joined the army where i became an army boxer,and after fighting all over this globe with weapons and without, having been blown up, shot, stabbed, hit over the head with lumps of timber of various thicknessess, i recon if i had to live my life all over again, i would have continued running, much smarter, self confidence comes from within it does not come from joining the bullies, they are inadequate,.being prepared to defend yourself is ok,when all else fails, violence is the last resort of a sensible man. i have taken on men twice my size and come through it,but what does that say about me as a person, that i am brave,no it takes a far braver man to walk away with his dignity intact. regards LF

Just because we are part of the universe doesn't mean we don't sometimes have to choose to fight.  Although, when the option to avoid a fight is available, it's often the best option.  But the universe is filled with both good and bad, and sometimes you have to fight the bad.

Often because many of the people urging war are basing their decisions on hate and fear-mongering, and that comes from their wanting to control others. If you can control others, why risk yourself?\n\nIn fact, those who do risk themselves are called fanatics, while those who just order others into battle are called praised as leaders.\n\nI like Chris de Burgh's idea:\n\n"So there's something we'll do to the leaders, before we go;\nLet's stick 'em in a room together - And make them fight it out..."

Because it's in people's nature to fight.\n\nFor instance, even me and my twin brother are always fighting, and I mean "always".

B/C a lot of the time, if we actually verbalized what we really feel, we could probably end up either hurting people or hurting ourselves b/c they would kick our a$$

this happens when we think the other will be better and when we find out hes not we want to run back to the other. you can try asking him back. but then it might be to late.

When it comes to helping people you have to learn to choose your battles. You can't expect to please everyone all of the time. \nAs for people who hate themselves etc.,...it is easier to deal with someone elses problems rather than your own. It is a classic form of denial.

well its sometimes difficult to keep our mouth shut when we have certain angers. We just pick on who we think is an easy target while the target should be the one who caused that anger. So no its not right. There's a lot of "social cowardness" going on and the easyest people are usually the victims. Granted its not always easy to address why we do it, but usually a feeling of not having something or a situation under control is the source.

For many reasons. Sometimes for revenge, sometimes for spite. Sometimes by accident, and sometimes it can't be helped. (for instance, in a breakup) \n\nSome people hurt others for the pure pleasure of it. It gives them a feeling of power. \n\nThere are many people, though, who truly try not to hurt others.
