Perhaps, but you underestimate the parental bond I have with my children.Crackey wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 1:49 amI understand you but I think you are over-simplifying it. I am a war veteran. Getting over it after the first one may apply to the moment(s) but in the long run, a conscientious person finds himself sour-searching.

The first wild boar you shoot is the hardest
You feel sorry for it.
But after a few, it worries you no more.
I have no hatred for wild boars, apart from being a problem to the farmers.
But I have serious issues with people who hurt children, and my children more so.
And my willingness to harm someone who hurt my family.
My father was a very mild mannered man, never raised his voice, I rarely saw him angry and woukd never consider him violent in any way.
One day a drunk knocked my mother down with a backhand to her mouth while they were standing at a bus stop, no reason other than being drunk and aggressive.
My father grabbed him by the collar and proceeded to mangle his face like a machine, punch after punch.
Only my mother grabbing my father's arm stopped him, the drunk slumped to the ground and dad simply dismissed him.
He said "No one touches my family, remember that, its what makes you a man"
I was about 10 at the time and have never forgotten those words.
I will protect my family, and anyone hurting them will be sorry.
