I was robbed at knifepoint many years ago. I gave up my wallet willingly.

I did so because I cared far more about being present for my wife and children than I cared about the fact that some assholes would enjoy the contents of my wallet.

At the time I was practicing both boxing and karate on a daily basis, so I probably had decent odds in a fight... but why bother? I can get another wallet and some more cash. I can't get my daughter a new dad.

If this makes you think I have no backbone... well I suppose we simply have different principles.
