Listen more. Talk less. Enjoy your children's laughter. Self defense is a myth. Fair fights are a myth. When you calculate that a confrontation is inevitable, strike hard and swiftly and do not let up until your adversary is unable to continue.

Have a dog or pet to care for.

Ask yourself if you are the problem.

Well said.

To live is to suffer. To survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

Don't quote world-class philosophers without attributing their work to them. It makes you look like an ass.

That sounds pleasantly Buddhist without all the mystical nonsense added Smile

It also reminds me a lot of Viktor Frankl

Smother your victim's children in their pathetic father's blood and rejoice in their cries for help.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Accept your lot in life as defined by another, allow yourself to be the victim, die quietly and transition into the next life? Yeah, there's always that.

On an atheist forum it is worth arguing aggressively with theists and even using mockery to get your point across. It is not worth discussing religion with your theist family at all , ever.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
