The real meaning of fighting

Last saturday evening, i was glad to have joined ch for a game of soccer. The game made me realised how much fitness i had actually lost. Time to buck up man!

In my team, there was ch's friend, jh. His way of handling tackling and dribbling is sort of rough. Sometimes, he would accidentally kick opponents' legs or knock into them hard. Haha, i think in this case it could be very irritating to the opponent. If in a real game, it could be a foul.

After some time, some players opposite could no longer take his roughness, they flared up and pushed him. A fight seemed like inevitable. ch was fast to go in between them. That guy was really irritated because jh knocked into him and his specs flow.

Story:

Guy A was knocked by jh. He flared up and pushed jh.

Guy A: wad do u want? huh? Tell me wad do u want? huh? huh? (his voice almost at the maximum, echoing within the estate of HDB blocks.)

JH: sorry, sorry. i didnt mean it. sorry sorry.
(JH knew his unskillfulness in tackling that ball caused it and was apologetic abt it)

Ch was fast to go up and stop them from tangling each other.

me: hey relax la. This is a contact sport. we are all guys. if he knock u, u push him back later lo. relax la.

Guy B: he not only knocked into A. He knocked into me many times too. U want to fight ah? (looking at jh and showing his fists.)

me: relax. hey guys, how abt that? u all pushed me back la. We play soccer, definitely there are some contact. u are not playing badminton. If he pushed u, u pushed him back later, no need to fight la.

Apparently, the whole incident came to a stop and we continued with the game. I was happy to score one goal. ahhahah.

So in this case. Haha, i think its juz stupid to fight for this type of purpose. over some small issues. It all goes to show how unlearn u are when u actually resort to violence to settling things. That in this case is wad Confucius describe as "匹夫之勇". It means without the application of wisdom in the action of bravery.

My friend hopes to see me learning how to retaliate when pple come riding on me. i dun see it this way. I shall use my ability only at the right occasion. My ability is used to protect, not to harm.
