Cowards never view themselves as cowards. In fact, cowards tend to view themselves as brave and virtuous. They have an astounding ability to delude themselves into thinking that their fear of confrontation is actually an demonstration of their virtue. After all, it is easy to fake compassion towards one’s adversary, and it caries little risk.

Likewise, every obnoxious insecure asshole, be it the domineering boss, the suffocating father or the violent husband, seems to have convinced themselves that their abuse is actually an expression of caring. The assholes justify their actions in terms of teaching lessons, efficiency or tough love.
