Thank You Bullies

It hurts like hell when you get your very first beating, but you would also be in pain if you began weight lifting, and then with each succeeding weight lifting session, you begin to develop a stronger pain tolerance, until inevitably all future pain from working out is unnoticeable. It is the same thing with getting beat up everyday also. Eventually you get numb to the pain with their every blow. and soon begin to fight back because you know, that you are now tolerant to any pain that these bullies can throw. In the end I walked away with all of their respect, when they discovered how much damage they could possibly get, from one who is no longer afraid of pain, who just gave one of theirs their worst nightmare beating, but their constant, non stop everyday bullying, is what has helped me to become a stronger man, who manages to tolerate physical and emotional pain any way I can. All the bullies in my life participated in making me a much better man, so I guess, when you think about it, I should really thank all of them. By the way, the one I beat up who got his nightmare beating from me? Sure, I gave him a little pain like he gave me, much less though than the pain from his former beatings that I received, but I also gave him Fear, something he never got from me. I beat him up more psychologically than physically, and then that fear spread among his peers like a fatal disease, and then never again did I succumb to anymore of their bullying. Unlike them, I am not a bully, I'm more of a pacifist terrorist actually, whenever I have to deal with bullies.
