The most appropriate reaction to 80+ percent of life situations is calmness and/or indifference, especially on complex levels.
There are emotions that are right, strong, necessary, high-quality – like energy properly filtered by reason. But there are cheap, unrefined emotions that cause a lot of problems. Especially avoid actions caused by resentment.
One of my life principles is “never to attack first”… however, if someone attacks me, I will fight to the end. I have no fear of death, that’s the true power a real philosophy can give you. However regarding a fight, if it’s a homeless crazy random idiot, most probably I would just ignore. Context is the king.
