The Fear In Your Eyes

Retreat from a bully? Won’t stand toe-to-toe? Then what awaits you S’ a Tale of Woe Once he sees the fear in your eyes That bully will pursue you ‘til the day that he dies ____________________________ And, yes, this dynamic is operative on the playground of international power politics, as well as on the playground in your community.

This is indeed true, fear is the point where each delicate soul is being targeted. So the message stop playing the role of a victim is terrific. Thanks for another wonderful share.... Silpika

For some reason, not many ever get this message, Silpika. Thanks for letting me know your view of 'bully vs. victim.' Blessings and Bounty, Gershon
