Foolish Bravery

I was just posting in one of the other forums when an interesting thought struck me. It is based upon part of my post there:

The only way now to get me royally annoyed is to pick on a friend of mine, or even just someone who looks like they cannot defend themselves. Then the blood rises and I'm afraid they won't be seeing daylight for a while, not through two bruised eyes they are not.

Partly spoken through false bravo I admit. But having thought about it, it is true, only two things really piss me off, when you impinge on my freedoms, and when you are hurting someone, in some manner. Sounds really honourable etc, and rather fake. But it is true. And what's more, rather worrying, in that I know I would charge into a gang of thugs much older than me to try and help someone I do not know. Which will probs end up with me beaten to a pulp (I am only 15, and even a fit teen cannot hope to face multiple adults), along with possibly the person I am trying to protect. I am just interested to know if there are others that have this flaw in the logic, that causes them to ignore safety and possibly even put those they are trying to protect in danger because of a hatred of the perpatrators. Also, some feedback on wether it makes me a bloody fool, or a hero, or what.

Kinda a random topic, but it is just on my mind atm.
