Deciding to Fight

Fighting isn't about knowing how, it's about deciding to. The decision wasn't an intellectual one, it was an overcoming of the emotional barrier, that in any civilized society, prevented people from doing damage to each other. 

Neal Stephenson in "Seven Eves" 

I think that the fight instinct is buried deep in everyone. However, I think that this instinct only manifests itself in those that have the courage or desire to take responsibility for their own wellbeing. This is not a judgement or insult to those who do not have the will or instinct to fight.
