Bridling yourself as if you were a horse or a dog to stop barking, to not indulge in joining in with the barking of other dogs as they try to disturb the peace, a dog who barks by himself, not you barking with him.
To stay steady and keep the peace, to move away from the commotion and keep calm. To feel the protection of The Lord as you do not join in the fight, to let them fight by themselves, not to indulge in negative activity.
As the Psalms says "To allow G-D to chase away the wicked and they will be no more."
To then sit down and catch your nerves as they try to overwork in an adrenaline rush and instead of panting, breathe slowly and normally.
Let G-D be the ONE to take ahold of the situation and be easy, be cool, be sure.
Walk away from the violence, unscathed, with your chin up.
