Defensive or Offensive
One Taiwanese guy asked me so early why you are so defensive... The question was a bit strange to me because I thought the guy knew me lately and even the time he made that comment it was in response to one of my requests to stick to the original plan so I didn't understand why I'm so defensive. Well, this is not my point here but I want to explain why any person can be defensive or offensive.
I think when you feel you are alone your behavior will be somehow defensive... you start building scenarios in your head about what the others expect from you and why you didn't do this and that and you might defend yourself even without anybody ask you to do so.
The defensive behavior might catch even a group of people or even a nation like the current situation of Arabs and Muslims. You need to remember that your enemies want you to be going in your defending circles.
Now about the offensive term, it's very easy to deduce when anybody's behavior may be offensive... of course it's the power. When a person or a group of people is powerful immediately you find their offensive attitude when you touch any of their properties or when you try to win your rights which is somehow linked to their properties. That offensive way varies from a very soft offensive power to a very hard one.
On a person level, the offensive attitude is needed along with the defensive one but only need to balance the two and minimize the use of both. Even I feel sorry for those who's nothing to do unless defending themselves maybe because I'm one of them the same time I feel sick from being weak and self-exhausting in no sense.
I'm only worried that it easily turns to be a sickness on both offensive or defensive.
