"In an eye for an eye world, everyone would be blind" - Someone
Bigger man is bull but a smarter man would never lower themselves unnecessarily. Sometimes you don’t have a choice but to defend yourself but if you have an option to walk away you definitely should.  Run by the rule of. “Is this person worth going to prison for?” >

Personally, I like my integrity. I don’t think I would feel good about myself acting like I have self-control and good judgment in one situation if I knew that just recently I’d beat someone’s face in or let myself sink to a lower level to teach them a lesson. >

There are definitely some unreasonable people, and those who have no interest in finding common ground or compromising. But if you can be the bigger man it might serve as an example. >

I use to try be a bigger man but I think it's a naive concept. >

Then you're just resigning yourself to be a vengeful ass >

99% of the time you don't need to 'win' or 'show them' unless it's to stroke your own ego. >

A bigger man is able to negotiate his way through problems vs. behaving like a cock >

Just because sometimes you have to fight doesn't mean the whole concept is overrated. >

It really depends on the issue itself, some people will waste years of their life and thousands of dollars fighting over something that would have cost them zero if they had just ignored it in the first place. These people are always the losers in the end, regardless of whether they win their pointless little victory or not.
Being the bigger man doesn't necessarily mean letting the other guy win, it's about not giving enough of a fuck to see it as a contest in the first place. >

This. Life gets a lot easier when you accept there is a certain % of the population that are destined to crow about winning things that aren't even competitions. So there's no point in trying to eschew being the bigger man to "get even" with them or "teach them a lesson." Some people aren't worth your energy. >

As a kid? Maybe. As an adult? Hard no. >

There are lots of unreasonable adults. >

Yeah but those people have money and with money comes a greater chance of seeing guns.
