Well, hopefully I'm not cycling. I think the progression was more or less linear, and hopefully I wasn't too much of a bully at one point. I believe now that I developed a false sense of security at one point, after years of never feeling secure, and behaved essentially like other secure people around me, which is pretty sad, when you think about it. I guess the final chapter in the whole process was to just forget about high school and all the B.S. that came with it, being mindful of the fact that for some, high school never quite ends.
Adulthood does seem to bring with it a general progression toward more civil behavior. I do really wonder why some never learn the value of emapthy. A distorted ego may be a factor.
> It's good to hear that you've been out of being bullied. However, you seem to cycle from being an easy target, to a bullier, to sticking up for yourself. Anyways, I hope you understood what I meant by this.
