and the people you worked with respected your elders and made caricatures of them and published cartoons of them? What would you do?
Killing is not an option as you are too sweet.
would you keep on the listening to the daily taunts and do nothing?
(If you say yes than I will know for sure than you are bluffing)

Now think of someone you father respected, your grandfather and your forefathers respected and you are living your life as per that person's teaching and to you he is more than your father, If someone insulted him or said anything about him. you would definitely react.

If you curse someone for any reason, what does he/she do. He she curses back. Normally it is the mother and sister that hae found their way in he curses. You respect your mother/sister so you react and inadvertently you do something unexpected.
I have made my point. If you still dont get it then we are back at square one.
