Wisdom dictates that one must always be cautiously wary of those mouth watering, opportunistic, moments, when to pursue one's adversary into a corner -- in war, in anger, or in simple debate -- is to fail in that most vital area of cognizant ascertainment of, exactly, whether one has truly pursued a fleeing adversary, or if one has fallen victim and prey to a feigned feint appearance of flight of fear weakness, when, in truth, one has been methodically led, by a superior foe, into the very corner of one's own imminent demise -- and that for the slaughtering -- giving hindsight's reflective credence to Alexander Pope's famous line from his poem, An Essay On Criticism, that has become a popular wisdom's idiom: “Fools rush in …!”

I would not attempt that at all.... There lurks danger.... why not try to settle adverse actions and words by talking it out, settling it a humane way instead of an animistic away....just my own opinion...
Best, B

Quite true
Very little as dangerous as a cornered adversary

Thanks Dave ...

An interesting piece Marvin. People cornered can become dangerous. Rush in at your own peril. I think I would choose my timing very carefully.
Hindsight can teach us many lessons.

Thanks Chris

Makes me think of Bloody Bill Anderson. He loved ambushes, until he rode into his own fatal ambush.

Thanks John, and yes, I tend to believe that arrogance is always the downfall of I.Q. ...

One must have patience, be critical too. Only in that way can they excel in cornering their foe. Patience is a virtue, think before you talk. Interesting piece thanks for sharing!
