BULLYING

Periodically we hear about Bullying and the commentators in general accuse the aggressors and question if the schools did that they should have done. The question is if they took measures in order to identify the problem.
Of course if we are a normal person we have to condemn this behaviour.
But on the other hand, many times I ask myself if the commentators analyse the problem in the right way.
Actually, they give their opinion in the way that the aggressors have to be punished and the law or the teachers have to be harder on him.
But this is common sense. Bullying always was, consequently aggressors and victims, too. To be harder for the aggressors is normal.
The problem is the protection that they want to have for the victims. It’s so much protection!
The victims have to learn to defend themselves. It’s important. During their lives they will not always have a person that will help them.
In my opinion, we have to put our efforts together so the victims get stronger and fight against the aggressors. Life is hard, and protect the victims isn’t the best way to help them.
Last Friday I watched on TV a “Private Practice” episode and one of the themes was bullying.
The Mother was protective but the doctor had a different opinion. Bullying, till that point, is the best way to learn how we have to self-defence.
I practiced bullying and I was victim of bullying. I had no problems. It didn’t affect me.

AVOIDING FATE

I don’t know why but I believe in Fate.
What is Fate? Can we change our Fate?
Many Times I say or I hear: It’s their Fate? But is it?
I’m not a philosopher, but Fate is something we can’t control (or may be you can, who knows?)
When we think that something will have high probability of happening and we take measures in order to avoid that it happens, which of them is Fate?
Was it Fate to avoid the problem?
It’s very complicate!
I’m going to speak about myself. In general I don’t believe in anything that I can’t control as is religion. Things happen because they have to happen!
But I believe in Fate! I can’t control Fate but I need to believe in something I can’t control, and
this is Fate!
