Don't talk down to anyone, or up to anyone, solves that problem. The best people I have known, adhere to that. My heart sinks when people are seen acting fawningly to one, and abruptly with another, with barely a breath between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is when you are nice(which is my normal state) some people see this as a weakness to put it over you(unkind people), and the only thing they respect is harsh, nasty responses,which they will get back instantly.I think these people have limited intelligence or are on a very low plane of existence.So I don't think you can just be yourself with everyone if you want to survive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people see your kindness as a weakness, then they have limited intelligence! Most kind people I have met could destroy their "enemies" like the pests they often are, but they choose not to because they understand things in the big picture and therefore feel sorry for them. However, sometimes we have to "destroy" in order for something healthy to blossom, right?! Sometimes it's weeds, and other times it's something else - I'm sure you get my point!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound a little paradoxical, but for me personally, it is this kindness, this sure-footed foundation that allows me to take no-nonsense. And beside, in reality, in actual live situations, these bullies only go after the weakest in the heard. And someone who has a real inner strength and peace, is NOT weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree, in my experience most bullies are cowards at heart, (unless they are utterly psychotic, which is something different altogether) because they have no solid ground, no inner foundation to fall back on, and once challenged have nowhere to go. And just to add, it is this same inner strength that allows an individual to admit when they were wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I also think bullies are cowards at heart - but I guess the difference between us here is that I think they often are blind cowards! Inner strength is also to show your weakness sometimes.

Do you understand?! That was probably a little thoughtless of me...…...its kind of a habit, just to grab someone's attention lol. But it depends upon what the inner strength is based on. A true loving kindness to self, and other, will I feel keep someone on the right track? But, you will have to tell me whether I understood rightly or not. Most bullies I have met are very manipulative with borderline sociopathic tendencies, I realise these are only generalisations and are limited. And as such I do not agree that they are unintelligent, they just lack the wisdom that comes with compassion. I hope you understand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the biggest kind of intelligence we can ever find here on earth is the intelligence of kindness! The intelligence of love!

I agree. And the prime target for every right thinking individual would be either your own, or somebody else's, ignorance, and the resulting negative attitudes. The question then becomes, what, or how, is the best way to "destroy" ignorance et al? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An environment governed by love will not accept lies in the long run. This might sound naive to some, but it's true when the love is strong enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted February 20, 2020 #249 Share Posted February 20, 2020 What about true love for money, power, control? A deep true love that becomes an obsession? Knowledge is power. The more knowledge you possess about the thing you love, the easier it is to manipulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
