14. Empathy for those of conscience alongside
Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 07:33 PM by undergroundpanther
a furious burning anger and outrage directed at the toxic personalities is what's needed. To effectively deal with this two sided problem you can't negate one(empathy or anger) over the other. You got to be in touch with both and apply them to the appropriate people as situation requires.

Don't waste your compassion on a bully,and don't blame the victim of a bully for being wounded and expressing pain as if that is somehow offensive. And if that expression does not involve abuse of non-bully people consider that a sign of the targets conscience and comfort/protect them..Stand up if the bullies and bystanders are uncomfortable by your empathy,voice and defiance of the expected non-response or submission..As for bullies, fuck all of them.
