I like to think I keep a cool head and think logically.
I think we all do. Or am I wrong?
For example, when I was younger, I was cycling in the UK. I caught up with a big truck and swung to the center of the road to pass. Then I thought that was kinda dumb, so I swung back and got on the sidewalk.
I was passing the truck when I saw 3 very large women walk up their garden path towards the sidewalk. I was going full pelt and I shouted a warning they didn't hear.
I started to brake but the 3 big chick's were now in front of me. They took up the entire sidewalk and I had fences one side, cars the other. In the moment, I decided to aim for the fattest chick. The fence or a car would have really hurt.
I hit her, bounced off and hit the deck. She was still standing but shocked. She turned and looked at me and said "what are you doing". I apologised and got out of dodge ASAP, figuring she was either not hurt or not hurting yet.
Now - I never felt guilty or bad in any way. I took what I thought was the most logical decision.
That's normal right? Haven't we all done something like this?
