what if someone threatens you with a big knife ? will you feel scared when you see a wolf in the forests? how can you deal with a big guy who always insults other people that is weak?

To your first question, i'd probably be too stoned or shocked to do anything rational besides following the guy's instructions. To your second question, i'd definately be scared since most wolves aren't known to be friendly creatures and to you last question, i probably just let this person be since he isn't insulting me or hurting anyone just because he's big. If he is, i might just braven myself up and stand up to him...That is if i do have the guts in me to stand up to him...hehe ^_^

If someone threatens me with a big knife I would give them what they wanted. They could have any money I had on me. It is not bravery to try to go against someone with a big knife. My life is more important than that. I would not feel scared if I see a wolf in the woods. I would keep my eye on where the wolf is. Animals are more scared of people and won't do anything to a person if the person leaves the wolf alone. The big guy who always insults other people that are weak is called a bully. The best way to deal with a guy like that is ignore him.

I really wouldn't know because I haven't faced these kinds of situations and hopefully, I never will. However, looking at these questions theoretically speaking, my answer all depends on the other things that play within the situations. If someone is threatening me with a big knife, what would I do? It depends on where I am or on what is available for me to defend myself. As to feeling scared when seeing a wolf in the forest, if I am far from the wolf, most probably I would take pictures of it. I may feel a little bit scared because I might catch its attention or something but I still wouldn't let the opportunity to photograph a real live wolf pass me. About the big guy who always insults weak people, I would trip him when he passes by my place! LOL.

there have no chance to prove my brave enough.I have not caught such a thing as you said.maybe I will be brave to protect myself.maybe I will measure myself if I had so much strong ability to fight them and calling for help is the best policy.

I always carefully when go out and will bring knife or something sharp for defend myself from bad guy.Sometimes we cannot expect something bad will happen to us,so that i always take a carefull ways.If i find someone threaten me with big knife,i will kick the knife with my boot shoes and run away if i not success.If i see a wolf i will use my knife if it try to attack me.And the last thing,i will insult back the bad and big guy who always insults other people that is weak and threaten him with knife.

If someone tries to threaten me, I will fight him back if ever I have no other option or if he/they will not allow me to escape. I guess I need to stand up my guard and fight back with everything I have.

Hi Rocketsky, I am not sure if i am brave enough to face those situation that you mentioned above. But i think if someone threaten me with a big knife, i will gave him all my money to him, because you can earn those things back, but if you lose your life you will never able to get it back. I hate those who insult other weak people just because they are bigger, i think they will be punished by someone somewhere somehow

I think that there is no way to tell if we would be brave or not in those situations. Everybody at diferent times act diferent ways. So i dont know if i would be brave to do anything or not.

Well if someone threatens me with a knife, I would definitely be scared and ran the fastest I can, for I don't know any defense at all. Oh thanks, that's a wake up call for me. Second, of course I would feel scared if I see a wolf, especially the wild, they would really attack you, again perhaps I'd climb the highest tree and call for rescue, lol! Lastly, I don't talk with him or get around him. If it so happens that he's before me, then I would just shrug that guy and not argue, like he don't exist at all and perhaps just leave. Ciao!

rocketsky, I think we will need to be a little streetwise here and not make the situation more grave than it should be. We should remember that life is precious and take care of this entity would require us not to endanger ourselves by trying to be some nonchalant hero. If the assailant wants money or some valuable belongings than by all means let them have it. Otherwise, you can use your pair of legs and run for help and safety. We can never be too careless and put ourselves or love ones in danger and worry. Take care.

As far as the big knife..I'm out of there..I'll live to fight another day when the knife isn't involved..a big wolf..yeah..I'd be nervous but even more so if it were a pack. The big guy insulting the weak...noway..he's a sissy..lol..I'd no way be afraid of him. I'd just tell him what I thought.

really, i am scared of such kind of situation which you refer to, i have to admit to that i am a timid girl,even not dare to express my love to a boy i like a lot.as to been threatened by someone, i had better choose to escape from where he or she stay . before about half a year, i lived in a rented room with two girls who had graduated ,they tended to give bad comments about others behind them,and did what they wanted to do ,not caring about others.for something detailed,i didn't talk with them for sevaral days,no thinking they always made nitpickings about what i did.nearly i qurrelled whit them when i could not fed up with such badness.in the end ,owing to intervation from other roommates,all were well.heheh,tell you,it's the only time i wanted to lose temper in the public place.but sometimes,when confronted with troble,the best way is to be patient,just calm down.do yourself an the best.

If someone threatens me with a knife , i will not be scared. But , i wont retaliate . Also, When you see a wolf , i will try to get away from the place. If a big guy insults a weak , i will not fight or quarrel with him. But , i will try to behave in a way that big man will realize his mistake and asks me apology . The cool tendency i would like to have throughout my life. For harmful things , we need to fear . But , for silly things we need not fear.

I´m not sure if those are acts of bravery. Maybe the reasonable thing to do if you encounter someone with a knive is to run. And if you can´t, accept what the other wants. There is such a thung as conservation instinct. Wallace, on the other hand, was brave because he measured his personal risk with the goals he was seeking to achieve. And he put in a higher place freedom than life itself. That´s what makes him outstanding. I get very scasred when there´sa an earthquake. I live in an earthquake country and I fear them. My act of bravery (if it can be called that) was, when I had my children with me, to run AFTER I got them. But that, too, is maybe an instinct.
