  • In John's line of work (and especially in his past) he encounters the most dangerous men you'll ever meet. But there are different types of "dangerous". In this video, John address three types he has seen most consistently. There are those who have malicious intent, and their counterparts who have an ingrained sense of duty to protect and defend others. But there are also several dangerous people who don't often get recognized by society as such. John outlines four traits of the second type of dangerous man (or woman) which seem to encompass many underlying features of the Good and Dangerous.

      @Paul Smith Most certainly, but good strong men aren't necessarily defined only by their ability to be violent. Like in the example of the British stretcher carriers. They wouldn't fight, but they put themselves through more hell than the British soldiers in order to save lives. It's more about giving yourself to a cause that you see worth giving up everything for.

      @Kenneth. Exactly. The one with the big mouth and succumbs to road rage and lack of emotional control, is not the dangerous one. But be careful of the silent type who quietly observe the world around them, they are the sentinels, the "heroes in waiting". This is what good men should be, tenderly play with children and make love to women, but when awakened, can be 100% warrior.

A little kid when they were very very young started shoving him. My brother couldn't be bothered to care. The friend who was playing with him said, "I wouldn't do that." He kept it up. Same warning again, maybe again. Finally my brother stood up and calmly punched the other kid in the face as hard as he could, then went back to playing without saying a word. "Told you," said his friend.

    There is another dangerous man. He is the quiet, dedicated man. He can and will be trained , whether in the martial arts, or military. He will be more of an introvert, shy, quiet, reserved. He will try to not draw attention to himself. He will be friendly and inoffensive, and always courteous, and polite to all he meets, and he will be sincere in this. He will have one priority which rules him, and that would be the love, prosperity and safety of his family. He will be devoted to his wife, spouse or partner, his children if any, his parents and siblings if any. He will always be a true friend to those who have earned that right. This man could your neighbor, or co-worker, he could just sit next to you on the bus or train, and you wouldn't remember what he looked like 5 seconds after he walked away. this man would actually prefer this. But show his loved ones any disrespect or bring them harm and this quiet peaceful man will come at you in one of two ways. He will come at you with the hot savagery of a berserker, or in a cold calculated and precise strike. You will never see him coming, until you go down. This is the most dangerous man alive. Super heros are just for fiction.

    In order to not wake anyone, he exudes an immense level of discipline and pain management while keeping his balance from hopping on one foot to the couch so he can make sure the lego isn't protruding through the top of his foot like a punji stick.

And kind of ironic the similarities of two books about related evil powers rising up to conquer and destroy/enslave a people. Requiring the combined might of "good powers" joining together to overthrow them, being well fleshed out before the outbreak of WW2.
      As an officer of one of the "good forces" battling the "evil forces" through the trenches of Europe including the Somme no doubt his very own experience could be translated as Gandalf sent overseas by the "good powers" to confront head on his "Balrog", German officer counterparts.

    I find this really in line with what I think about sometimes. The most dangerous people are often the ones with patience. They say the most dangerous kind of anger is the one you can't see. The slow, cold, calculating determination. The guy who looks at you and knows exactly how to bring you down and decides if he wants to or not all without showing an emotion. The kind, soft, gentle speaker who doesn't raise their voice is the one you have to fear because they have the most confidence. They don't like to repeat themselves, they'll always say what they believe - sometimes it's a cold blunt truth, and they'll say what they need you to hear. They'll only say something once. They are the guy you often forget about on the train. They could be anyone. Often you don't know how powerful and cunning they are. They like it that way - less anticipation on their enemies if they feel like they need to fight back. Their enemies don't know how strong they are, so they won't be prepared. Good. Don't get in their way. They won't ever hurt you unless you've hurt them or unless they're in your way and you won't move. They love justice. They usually have the most meaning in their strategic, precise, thought-out, cunning, witty, sometimes sarcastic, clever words. They're calm because they've already made their decision on what they're going to do and have nothing to prove to you. Just a mission to complete or a point to make. As you mentioned, they'll know every way to bring you down. But you seem to have only covered physical combat. The most dangerous people know how to bring you down from the inside, make your world crash down around you, destroy everything you love. Not only physical harm, but they also know how to defeat you socially, mentally, and emotionally. Those are the worst of all. They understand you completely. Know everything about you that you didn't even know about yourself. They know which places to strike, what'll hurt the most. And they have all of the power and skills to do it. All of the pieces and the knowledge of how to play them. Most of all, they understand people. People and their relationships with one another. Because they understand this major fact of life: "What controls this world? Is it money? No. Is it food? No. Is it weaponry? No. Because what are all of those used by and made by? People." They know how valuable people are. They're very good at manipulation and persuasion. They know how to get in your head, get on your team, become your friend, and consequently become in control. Because when you understand people, you know how to gain people and/or hurt people. When you have the right people on your side you have power. When you have power you have control. These are the types of people you don't want to upset. And you often don't know who they are or how much power they hold until it's too late. Unless you're one of them, they tend to see each other well because they're really good at observing possible threats to themselves as well. Anybody who might think like them or get in the way of their next goal. Life is a big chessboard to them. They see it as a game of strategy and war, and the know what's going to happen many many moves in advance. They're always thinking, analyzing, planning. Checking their own defenses. Getting the big picture, getting the small views. The nefarious and heroic can be exactly alike. Often the most dangerous of both categories can pass as either. The smartest and most powerful belong to both, sometimes. People who crave justice and want to live in a good world, but also need their lives to be right as well. They have consciences and don't want to step on others with their plans, but their understand that sometimes stepping on a few people a little bit is OK to get what your dreams are. It's just a fact of life. Just a game of chess. The people they love see them as heroes, their enemies see them as nefarious. These aren't criminals like the less powerful nefariouses, or people who try to be wholesome saints like some less powerful heroes. They are who they are and are willing to do what it takes. Usually that's heroic stuff. They like order, they like justice, they like acceptance, and they don't trample others often just to get what they want all the time like the nefarious. Only when it's completely necessary and there's no other option. I take back what I said, the most powerful/dangerous aren't in the middle exactly - they're usually heroes, because they are smart enough to understand the extreme value of a balanced society. But they don't always take the high road. They just always get it done. The most dangerous are the people who are usually heroes, but are both willing and capable of switching to nefarious. They know what they can do, they're not scared to do it, they just don't want to. These are the people you really want as your friends and the people you have to watch even as your friend. They are very powerful but also logical, rational, don't let their emotions ever make any decisions, and very reasonable. They very often don't let anyone know what they know or what they're thinking. Just a pool of constant information and planning swimming in their heads. They are very powerful friends and allies, and even more powerful teamed up together. They often never break their word, but they don't make a lot of promises either. They know what they know and know what they don't. You can very often trust them, and they typically shrug things off. They don't really care if they're messed with and are easygoing and fun. But once you cross the line and really hurt them, you're done. Get one as your friend, keep in mind of who they are and how they think, keep tabs of everyone else's scheming potential, and play things tactical and strategic, and you're fine. They'll be loyal to you as long as they don't have a reason not to be and as long as they respect you. Keep your word, don't be a hypocrite, don't try to manipulate them because they'll see right through it because they're masters, and think logically rather than emotionally and you'll have their respect. If not and you lose their respect, then you're just another pawn for them to use and move or discard and forget about. They're good people, they just know the ins-and-outs of everyone and what they're like so they know what to expect. People at default are unpredictable to them and don't make sense. So they analyze, analyze, analyze someone so the can predict what they'll happen and how useful they are. It seems kind of malicious to be manipulative and always decide if someone's useful, but that's the way it is. They won't treat you any differently if you're useful or not in that moment, people still have inherent value to them and they'll love you all the same. They just like to have a plan and tactics laid out. It may also seem paranoid from the outside, but they're more so just prepared. The most prepared for conflict gets hurt the least and comes out on top. Manipulation can be evil or malicious, but it doesn't have to be. It's a tool. Used for good, used for evil, it's all about persuasion and negotiation. They are the most dangerous people. These are Warrior Poets.
