Some dude grabbed my girl’s ass while we were separated tonight

@Carl-Richard I do take this as an excuse to unleash suppressed emotions onto people, if I'm being completely honest.

I tell myself that if I decide to go find and slap the dude's ass, it was his own doing because he should have expected it. If this takes me to jail, so be it. 

But I don't see how I'm looking out for my own ass here. Other than not being dumb enough to actually act out on these thoughts.

Obeying your emotions, your need for safety, or demand for respect by slapping some dude's ass, is fundamentally about looking out for your own ass. By following society's rules, society will be looking out for some of your ass, but you'll have to trade away some of the emotionally driven behavior that you otherwise use to look out for your own ass. You can't have your ass and eat it too (?)

@Carl-Richard Well put ? I'll have to contemplate on this a bit, but I think the coin in my ass is going to drop soon.
