If we notice that we've been criticized, we feel an instinctive urge to 'defend ourselves' by criticizing the critic.
Some individuals become so impressed with the effectiveness of their counterattacks, they begin to regularly launch pre-emptive strikes to warn off any who might be tempted to criticize them.
In civilized circles, these pre-emptive strikes usually take the form of humor. Having fun at another person’s expense lets all observers know that you have the capacity to inflict a lot of pain on them if they make the mistake of criticizing you.
In less civilized environments, Bullies are quite willing to go beyond humor when executing their pre-emptive strikes and counterattacks. For them, the use or threat of physical violence is an acceptable or even preferred option.

It is a great journey —
but you must do the walking
and have the willingness to change
and make the leap into

Become an inquisitive free thinking
