A Minimal Framework for Verbal Self-Defense
Since the unconscious parts of ourselves cannot lie, a minimal framework of self-defense must be able to express the truth. It should function in all walks of life without escalating violence. It might blend elements of honesty, toughness, good manners, and humor so as to round out ordinary conversation, dispatching each insult and bringing us back to ourselves.
You could see the twenty-two patients in this «seishin byooin» as primary distracters from twenty-two ontological nuclei of human existence: wonder, security, consciousness, individuality, sincerity, fascination, care, will power, whimsy, zest, confidence, compassion, certainty, beauty, presence, kindness, participation, equilibrium, spontaneity, warmth, trust and a wonderful heart. Do you see yourself as the possessor of these gifts?
The people who deliver insults are usually frozen in their formations of mind (being little more than unconscious agents of their parents), so you can bide your time and prepare for more attacks from their minuscule positions. Just imagine a splendid twenty-two dimensional Beelzebub conducting its affairs in a world of one-dimensional pip-squeaks!
Defend yourself once or twice, and the mean-spirited attackers will usually run away forever (Good riddance!) or they'll simply start being friendly. It's sort of miraculous.
