Hi James
On the other hand, how do the repressed defend themselves if turning the other cheek fails? Have they any alternative but to stoop to violence? I have no panacea, of course. I simply ask the questions.
You raise a question that I pondered on as I was posting my comment. My feeling is that your pheasant had a need to turn to violence and shoot his attackers. How do you draw the line between shooting for self defence and carrying on just because you have the power. (I know what I want mean to say but I am finding it difficult to put it into words). Cathy considers this issue in part 2 of her Knight in Shining Armour when she says (and I hope she doesn't mind me quoting):
He was wicked on the battlefield, heartless and inhumane. His friends called it survival, others called him insane.
