In their fights, one of Jonathan’s and Hannah’s most quoted defense is ‘He/She do me first’.

That would be their justification for hitting the other.

While I might not be unhappy with the first provocation act that supposedly started the fight, I am usually also unhappy with the second retaliatory act. It takes two to fight and I am unhappy with both of them when they get into a fight.

I would be happier with both of them if:

1. the ‘victim’ had the maturity to overlook the offense committed against him/her. Sometimes the offense might be accidental and other times the offense is petty.

2. the offender did not offend at all.

There are very few valid excuses for conflict, least of all – ‘he do me first’.
