And we should not bully others too. Just yesterday I saw some girl being bullied by an older woman on the fact that she attempted to post a message. The older woman kept on calling into question the quality of her English skills and kept on implying, between the lines, that the girl was such a novice.
Initially, my attitude toward these cyber bullies was one of hatred and disgust. But with time, I found out that these bullies are actually themselves victims. Instead of being hated, they need to be sympathized with.
They are usually the people who keep on bullying others only because in real life they get all sort of bullying, humiliation and disadvantaged. Their bullying behavior, in a way, is their attempt to compensate for the loss.
Once you are able to see the mind of a bully from within, then they can never harm you. They can not even evoke any negative emotions in you. Instead, you start feeling sympathetically for them.
Having said that, I never condoned bullying behavior. I have seen many an event where bullying lead to serious problems, at times causing severe social dysfunction in certain individuals, at times even suicide.
Bullies must be apprehended and reprimanded. I wont be speaking out of turn, if I suggest that authorities might well consider potential legal action against anyone found to be bullying other people on the internet--- or anywhere.
