3 Words I would Say to a Bully

There is one solution to bullying and it can be summed up in 3 words!

Bullying is committed against children and adults. Whether children against children, adult against adult or adults against children.

I believe indulging in bullyful behaviour (have i created a new word?) is an outward sign of self-hate. I hear you gasp....It is the truth i tell you...

Only because it is ABSOLUTLEY IMPOSSIBLE, i repeat ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to truly love yourself and act so cruelly against another. To get satisfaction in making other people feel bad about themselves only EXPOSES ones extreme self-loathing.

SIMPLY PUT: "IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LIKE YOURSELF WHILE PRACTICING HATE TOWARDS OTHERS.

Now the 'reasons' for bullying are FALSE 'Race' 'weight' 'looks' 'performance' whatever excuses are all false. So i do not want to hear people saying 'I was bullied because I wore glasses' No beloved, you were bullied because that bully disliked themself. That is the true reason. I mean no one on the earth is perfect and identical and that's the beauty of life.

In saying that... the three words i would say to a bully AND also to someone being bullied....

"LOVE YOURSELF!"

umm, ok maybe it's two words because yourself is one word i guess..never mind the message is still clear

LOVE YOUR SELF!.

To the bully: If you love yourself you will not feel so low and miserable that you want to drag others down too. You would feel good and lovable and you would want to share that too.

To the bullied: Love yourself as much as you can and you will build up a special POWER inside you that will protect you from the influences of lies of what others tell you. It would be like being waterproof from the rain. So when mean words are said to you instead of taking it into your mind, you just let it hang there suspended in the air........

BUT HOW DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?
