In today's analysis, I examine one of the most tragic examples of why violence is always unpredictable - regardless of your intentions when it begins. This viral Philadelphia subway confrontation demonstrates a truth I've taught for decades: once physical contact occurs, you have absolutely no control over the outcome. What began as posturing between two men ended with one falling onto the tracks as a train approached. Notice the size difference - the larger man likely felt confident in his physical advantage. Yet it was the smaller man's single move that created a fatal momentum shift, demonstrating that size alone provides false security when balance and environment become factors. Neither man woke up that morning planning for this outcome. One is now potentially facing manslaughter charges, the other severely injured or worse. And for what? A completely avoidable subway confrontation. There are no technical lessons here - only the stark reminder that violence is unpredictable and must be justified by truly being devoid of choice. This wasn't self-defense - it was ego, followed by tragedy.
