Porcupines

A popular essay from Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, divided humans into three categories: “Sheep,” “Wolves,” and “Sheepdogs.” I would suggest that Lt. Col. Grossman left out an important fourth category: “Porcupines.” My wife is neither “sheep” nor “sheepdog,” and she certainly is no “wolf.” She is a “porcupine;” harmless and docile if left alone, but ferocious and dangerous if threatened – even more so if her progeny are threatened. She would choose flight over fight every time, if flight is a viable option. But if flight is not an option, she has the tools, training, and mindset to win the fight. - Jeff Knox

I like that. My responsibility is to myself and my family. If I choose to step up and help others, I set myself up in the aftermath for a world of crap. I won't say I won't, but, once again, me and mine come first.

It's a good article. I suggest you read the whole thing.
