She taught her son how, to self defend,
Perchance, take the life of another man.
And when the day came,
The lessons became,
A worthy survival plan.

When he looked for her support,
Her look was quite contort.
Do you feel better
Now that you’re a killer?
Her lessons were comport.

I think I am agreeing with you here Melton.
The female of the species, (and many non-human species I might add), is probably best suited to teaching the young how to kill.
And rightly so, for they must know how to defend themselves and their young.
Good read, and good point.
(Hope you didn't get me in trouble with the ladies again, here pardner? lol)

Although she was pleased that her son was the victor, the new lesson, when the deed was done, was to not be proud or get a thrill of what he had to do. From an excerpt in "Dune".
Thanks for reading.
