Re: The Consequences of Fighting

It sounds more like the consequences of hitting someone in the head with a closed fist. If he'd smacked a palm strike in the guy's forehead he'd not have cut his hand. If he'd kicked the guy in the gut, he'd not have cut his hand and, in all likelihood, not have killed him....

He reacted, which is most of what anyone does in a fight. He was unlucky in that his reaction didn't meet all the standards he might have wished for from it. Perhaps he trained as a boxer, that would explain a lot about why he punched to the head.

In any case, I don't think his reaction serves a good general argument against fighting. There are equally negative outcomes in some situations from not fighting.
