Empathy, Bigotry and Marginalization

With bigotry comes self-defense

“There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Collected Works

Sometimes being a bully is too easy. I always take advantage of my friends little brother. If there is a easy way to take something out on someone usually I’ll do it.

“MOM IS MY OCULUS HERE?” No answer. “MOM”. “Shut up Walker no one cares.” Said his older brother Wesley. Up the stairs with his Oculus was his mom. The beating was only getting started.Walker had his Oculus (vr set) on so he couldn’t see us. We planned to attack him with pillows. It would be easy to beat him up, he was small and couldn’t see us. This was the perfect opportunity. We walked in lined up like navy seals about to attack, “Wesley your first.” I said, he went in and nailed him with the pillow, I came in right behind him and chucked a pillow at his face. He screamed “OW.” I saw blood, I knew I was screwed.

I learned a lot from this experience, I didn’t know not to take advantage of kids that are smaller, weaker, and dumber than me. This was a good experience for me to learn from.

Being a bully is a bad trait.
