Its not fun to be shamed as the famous rhyme “sticks and stones will break my bones but words will break my heart.”

Studies show that there are three kinds of people, bullies, assertive and passive.

Now bullies are people with exceptionally low self esteem usually people who have been bullied by their own parents who have been bullied by theirs; who knows how far back this disease goes.

Now the common human reaction to feeling low is not to pick oneself up but to step on someone else in order to feel better about oneself (of course it doesn’t really work as Einstein said that the worse someone treats another the lower they see themselves so it is like a drug addict taking drugs for his existential pain, the pain subsides temporarily but tit doesn’t stop someone from trying to release themselves as anyone would if they were under constan feelings of pain which is the feelings of someone who has been shamed by a significant person in their lives.)

Now bullies are exactly like all people, only far more fearful as they themselves have seen the wretchedness of humanity (possible wretchedness in some people of course) hence they actually find a very passive person – someone they know is not assertive for they are certainly very afraid of assertive people.

In the end of the day perhaps the message is to be assertive.
