He felt that he was a good person and it was unfair that he should be struck with a fatal disease. He vowed that he would not die quietly and that somehow he would get revenge. One day, your client was walking down the street. A man pushed your client aside and continued walking. Your client became angry and confronted the man. They began to fight.
