Hello screaming mockingbird,
I sing for you, I sing for you,
I sell my song of pain to you,
Just for you, Just for you.
To mock my downfall, and,
Be true to you, Be true to you,
To hear my pain sung back to me,
Just like you, Just like you,
I realize I don't need any more,
Songs from you, Songs from you,
I've found myself and in Sorrow no more,
Unlike you, Unlike you.
Bullying works both ways, and when you bully someone you're just voicing your opinions and hopes on the person, who all you want is to stand up for themselves. A bully only bullies, because they're locked out away from the group, whether its because they don't understand soething right away, or they don't have capacity for understanding positive emotions, or the most common, just not having the same tastes as the majority. Mockingbirds are only the starting point of serious bullying, as its not the bully's immediate fault for doing what he/she does, typically, but bullying is the majority trying to find a scapegoat. Real bullying is never starts out physical, it is the emotional need to pry open a person psyche, toy with it, and put it in on the wrong roads. The only ones who become physical bullies are those with the potential of a conqueror. I can't really explain it, but a friend of mine used to be bullied, he completely turned the bullying around on his own, and continuosly got in trouble for bullying, while he was standing up for my and others emotions. he was a black shep of his family, and had problems everywhere he went. But he always stood up for what he believed in, whether it got him in trouble or not. HE is who this poem goes out to, and whether he seesit or not, I want him to know that I really respect what he did for me and others, albeit in his own unique way.
"A flower that blooms but once every thousand years, is a thousand times prettier, than one that blooms every day, even if, it only blooms for a little while."

Not sure how I feel about this. I see some points with which I can agree and others I am not sure I either understand or approve. So, real bullying is he emotional need to pry open a person's psyche to toy with it and put it down a wrong path? What is this need about? Was your friend a true bully or a defender of your rights and dignity? I don't see a conqueror here as much as I see someone who has seen all the injustice he can take and who is ready to stand up and fight back. I am not a proponet of fighting but sometimes it is necessary if you need to limit damage in an immediate way. Usually, though, there is a way to deal with the ignorance or draft of others in a more intellectual, and emotionally healthy, way. Mockingbird is perfect for bullying. You should ask someone to publish it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm saying is from a societal standpoint. By definition a bully is someone who torments and hurts another physically or emotionally, regardless of what they are trying to accomplish. He was a bully by definition, but not by action.
ReplyDeleteTo your first question, my answer is yes. A bully is someone who toyes with a person's mind and puts him on a wrong, or destructive path. To others, on a chain of command, a bully is just a minion, but to me, the bully is the mastermind behind the manipulation. Forgive me for the Pokemon reference but Giovanni is the villain and bully, not Jesse, James and meowth.
To your second question, the need to transform and manipulate a person, comes from childhood. Typically it is someone whom has high expectations placed upon them or have been bullied themselves.
I'm not saying that everyone is a bully, but a large quantity of people have a larger possibility of become bad than good. It is a good idea, I believe, to help motivate others on to a just path, than onto ridiculous ambitions. But everyone has the right to do their own thing, and make their own way, despite any form of majority rule. All it does is help as a whole when you do something to lighten the load, instead of make it heavier, typically.
To your third question, my friend was both. I say this because he was brutally and unnecessarily violent in the beginning, trying to stop the injustice. Many became afraid of him. He left for a long while before coming back to us. When he came back he wasn't completely acceptable then, but he was a lot better in what he did.
And to my last point, He was a conqueror in the fact that, in the first instance he used those brutal methods, my class and I, did not face any bullying for a long time
