Well, I guess you should be happy to have your life, provided you like living, and it sounds like you do. Are you saying your only satisfaction can be derived from killing the robber?

I once got the shit kicked out of me on my own driveway. Not exactly a lethal fight, but things can turn lethal in a split second or without people wanting them to. It's a shame I couldn't just have pulled out my gun and blown the other kid's head off. Except no, I don't feel justified at all in doing that.
