fight or negotiation

[Gizmo]

Just a personal opinion

Negotiate or fight ? I dont think you can state what you would do prior to it happening for a number of reasons.

No matter what measures you take or what security you have in place, sometimes shit just happens. Whether that is due to something you have overlooked, a very smart intruder (s), or just plain bad luck, sometimes shit just happens and you have no choice but to negotiate.

It's down to percentages, sometimes having a slim chance of negotiating your way out of a situation is better than bugger all chance of fighting your way out when the odds are stacked against you.

To my mind survival of me and my family is the be all and end all of what I am trying to achieve, whether that means fighting, negotiating, or begging for my life, I will do whatever offers the best chance of surviving that particular situation.

Sometimes machismo, ego, pride, or just overestimating our abilities gets in the way of what the ultimate aim is, surviving.

As above, just a personal opinion.
