When people go through a violent experience, they realise what is fact and what was fiction, which sounds like a handy thing to know about yourself.<br />Conversely, you also advise people to avoid violent situations as much as possible. It's the safest and most sensible thing to do. <br />Do you have any explanations that might clear this up for me? Or is there no right answer?<br />Agent Cbeppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054833361387201847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-86455455187166944162016-01-13T04:29:26.208-08:002016-01-13T04:29:26.208-08:00There is a Welsh saying "A fo ben, bid bont&q...There is a Welsh saying "A fo ben, bid bont", which translates as "Who wants to be a leader must be a bridge".<br />This refers to a legend in which the hero Brân the Blessed travels from Britain to Ireland with his troops to rescue his sister Branwen from her abusive husband, the Irish king. When the Irish king has the only bridge over a river destroyed, Brân stretches himself across the river and lets his troops march over his back to the other side of the river.<br />Brân does not survive the mission. Only seven of his men survive and escort Branwen back to Wales, where she dies of sorrow.<br />You can read an English translation of the story on:<br />http://www.mabinogi.net/branwen.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
