I think I remember playing tag in the school playground. Sometimes we just touched the other guy, but sometimes, if we were in the mood, we’d trip him up. And that turned into “I’ll get back at him!”
The good thing is that you learned to roll when you unexpectedly fell, and that has served me well in later life.
Yes. And if someone tripped us up, we didn’t want to murder them. We would just trip them up the next time. Many of our youth are growing up without a conscience. But that is their example, now sitting in the White House.
