I could see clearly that this growing belligerence was an aberration, coming not from intention, but from the Fear.
I realized that the increasing aggression wasn't driven by genuine intent but was a result of fear. The hostility seemed to be an abnormal reaction caused by emotional distress rather than true maliciousness.
As Redfield suggests, understanding that such belligerence stems from fear rather than deliberate malice can help in addressing conflicts more compassionately. Recognizing this distinction allows for a more empathetic approach to human reactions and behaviors.
