why do people mistake gentleness for weakness.

[REDKING]

A very big mistake with some people I know.I've watched small gentle beings turn into fighting machines.

2. Because they secretly want an ass-kicking

That's been my experience.

3. Those things usually fall into one of three categories, ignorance

indifference or incompetence. I don't know where I got that, I think it's one of my originals, but it has worked very well for me for years.I think that one falls under ignorance.

4. b/c they didn't learn their lesson from television's "Kung Fu"

"In a heart that is one with nature, though the body contends, there is no violence. And in the heart that is not one with nature, though the body be at rest, there is always violence. Be therefore, like the bow of a boat - it cleaves the water, yet it leaves in its wake, water unbroken." - Master Po

6. Nothing a solid kick to the nuts wouldn't fix (nt)

9. Like it,Like it Centurion......

13. Those who do that have been in their share

of bad relationships in their lives. Their S.O. was someone who looked out only for themselves and no one else. To survive in this type of coupling the other person had to stand up to that attitude constantly. Some people seem to seek out that person with the rough exterior and look with disdaine on those who show kindness and gentlness. That's been my experience anyway.

15. Methinks they let the "little head" do the thinking for the big one. . .

and it probably IS a little head!
