Matty,
If I was there I'd tell all those guys to @#*! off -or something of that nature. You see, cos, the older you get the more easy it eventually becomes to make the connection between how much weakness is required to attack someone. One day you will make this connection and understand that the primary weakness is not the problem -it is the secondary kind that is. Regardless of what weakness exists, it is how much a person respects the strength within it, regardless of the amount of hardship they go through -in fact, BECAUSE of the hardship that they go through! -this is what is the measure of strength.
In the Rumble in the Jungle, Mohammed Ali took all of George Foreman's punches. This was despite the outer strength that Foreman had (who could dent a punching bag). George Foreman, when eventually knocked out, was said to to go down 'like a sick old man hearing very bad news'. And not only did Ali last against FOreman to win this fight, but when he is knocked out, people describe it like: 'watching an autopsy on a man who is still alive.' Many years after Foreman's monumental loss against Ali, after which he sufferred a great depression, which was said to have greatly effected and changed him, he said: "A man who is unsure of his limitations is unsure of his strength." ...gives a whole new meaning to the word 'confidence'.
