For example, a dog knows how to protect itself and its loved ones, but what does that have to do with being human? Although I must admit, I prefer dogs. Here, I’m reflecting on the contrast between humanity and compassion on one side, and the promotion of cruelty on the other.
I probably made a mistake by not teaching my son self-defense. It's important to understand that self-defense isn't about cruelty, but about protection when there’s no other option. Yet, some teach their children to be aggressive, saying, "If someone doesn’t like you, hit them and don’t be afraid." That’s no longer self-defense; it’s violence, and their "good job" feels like endorsing savagery.

When it comes to self-defense, the goal should be teaching children why and when to stand up for themselves.
Dogs are oftentimes better than humans. I, too, prefer dogs. But who, in their right mind, teaches their kids to hit other kids? Is that Dad on coke? 😄
