Getting in fights is a sign of non-Mastery. I recall a conversation I had with a tenant who had just been i a fight. I commented that I tried to avoid them as much as possible. He said "Yeah, but sometimes you just can't." I agreed and asked him where the fight took place? "A biker bar I like to hang out at..."
