All those would be erosion of your 'capital' which is violence against 
you.
I add a :-) to that BUT if you use some word other than "violence" 
then you have the start of a working principle. Whether you choose to 
tolerate or allow the erosion is your choice. On such decisions are 
based most  philosophical systems.
