Yeah, and I’m sure if you were assaulted like he was, you wouldn’t be mad about it at all, would you? Or could you clarify that statement?
Are you saying you feel sorry for him??? What’s wrong with you? From what I gather he makes work a living hell for you, behaves like a retarded 10 year old bully, strikes you and you feel remorse? You were smarter than him, nobody capable will employ him after this, he’ll be cleaning the gutters and kicking himself in the head, all his supposed supporters won’t give a shit for that and you’ll follow your way. You won. And if the son of a bitch tries to attack you again when you’re alone, just defend yourself if you can. Even if you take some you’ll give some back. Face him, fight him. Stand up for yourself, don’t let him get to your self-esteem. The pain will go away quicker than you think. AND if he is really an ape capable of seriously injuring you (not do headbutt like a pussy) aim for his throat and then run like hell.
Make the best of your stay with the USAF and don’t take any shit you don’t have to. Easier said than done but here are my 2 cents. And don’t let him have it easy. He’s a bully and a coward at that from what it seems, he deserves no respect. Oh and let all the rage out then act upon it rationally. OK I’m through now promise
When I said I felt remorse, it was in the context of the entire sitaution.
None of it should have happened. Period. Since it did, though, I did what I had to.
That doesn’t mean I should be happy about it. It would take a hard heart indeed not to show a little forgiveness toward the guy.
I am costing him his job. He deserves it, sure as hell. But it doesn’t change the fact that he will be out on his ass over this.
I guess remorse wasn’t the right word. I can’t think of the right word at the moment. But I feel something.
Maybe it’s what families feel towards criminals when they tell them that they are forgiven, right before they go to the chair. I don’t know. Maybe I’m feeling magnanimous in my satisfaction.
Anyway, it’s done and over with. I’m going on with my life.
Maybe the word you’re looking for is sympathy. He did something stupid in the heat of the moment, and he has to pay for it in the long term.
I’m glad you got it worked out, and that you are moving on. They say that success is the best revenge, and whether or not you were looking for it, you got it.
