This week I read that a mother claimed that her daughter had suicided because of cyber-bullying. I was shocked and then enraged. I felt incredibly sad that bullying had seeped into this portal for self-expression and had infected our right for free speech. It’s not as though I would advocate bullying is acceptable in any forum but bullying on the internet is like – why would you?
I detest any form of bullying. I have had experience at work when you feel afraid to speak up or in a relationship where you don’t want to stand up for yourself because you are afraid that you may loose a friend or lover. Fortunately, I’ve come to a place in my life where I feel comfortable enough to say, if you want to push me around then its exit – stage left!
Bullies are insecure creatures. They glide up and down the corridors of discontent spreading their germs. They dwell in the musty corners and hide under logs and they only peep out to infect the positive atmosphere of a sunny and joyous moment. Most times they are incapable of socialising or communicating like normal people. They can only speak nasty words from the dank caverns of their putrid souls.
I don’t understand their agenda nor do I wish to spend any time at all trying. Actually, if it wasn’t for the news of another victim falling pretty to these wretched and evil souls I wouldn’t even feed their dysfunctional and distorted ego by acknowledging their existence.
My confusion is, however, if we humans have free will and an inner mortal compass that always points in the direction of our highest purpose then, why do their always guide them to slums-ville? My question is, “so which direction is heaven on a stick – I’ll see you there!”
Peace and Love,
