Just what worked for me
I was lucky in that I was able to instill in my son the ideal of protecting those who are weaker, helpless, or afraid. He is kind, and generous to a falt. In highchool he was in choir, working part time as a mechanic, an outdoorsman--pick on one of the weaker kids and he was a force to be reckoned with. There are predators, prey, and protectors. I'll take the protector on my left flank.
