My friends, it’s been a very busy time; when it rains, it pours. Going forward, I am here after a long break and would like to touch on the topic of social media.
SOCIAL MEDIA is such a meaningful gift to the majority who use it; thanks must be given to the inventors of it. Social media allows the gifted to enlighten others with their skills, and those mentally pressured to encourage others from their experiences, which draws attention to awareness. The reason for this post. I am being bullied at this moment, but I am not helpless.
I’m not a master of any craft, but my life’s experiences have endowed me with knowledge through trials and temptations of those wicked to be able to share as an example, and to inform not to give up on themselves. Jesus never promised a life without difficulties; as a matter of fact, he says: If they persecuted me, they will do the same to you. -John 15:20. Therefore, by reading others’ experiences, we gain courage. As Christians were advised not to forsake our gathering, as we encourage one another to do fine works.
This is why I want to address the person or persons who continue non-stop the games to ascertain answers to questions. I have acknowledged that through play, knowledge increases once aware; it is given to insight. But without self-control, the player is like one given to too much wine who eventually comes to poverty. They are unable to think constructively in ways that preserve life.
While play allows one to see the other’s reaction, take a step back, and reflect to see the impact your desire or playfulness to ascertain answers to questions has on the individual. Who may be experiencing difficulties from others they are attempting to solve that involve another’s life.
Here is where balance is important; it’s the key which will preserve life and maintain happiness.
Many today, including adults, children, and people in authoritative roles, live in fear of others’ calls—bullies.
HISTORY OF THE WORD BULLY
The word ‘Bully’ originated in the 1530’s as a term of endearment, believe it or not (meaning sweetheart or darling). It comes from the Dutch word boel, which means ‘lover or brother.’
Over the centuries, the word underwent a semantic shift. In the 1600’s (Braggart) and transitioned into a slang for a daredevil.
In the 1700’s to our present time, a (Harasser). Depending on one’s perspective, the word ‘bully’ can be seen as a protector. One who uses their strength or power to intimidate and mistreat, to initiate a good result for the victim.
Why, President Theodore Roosevelt even popularized the phrase ‘bully for you’ and coined the term ‘Bully pulpit’ to describe the presidency as an excellent platform to advocate an agenda.
In wonderment of the psychological effect of the word’s meaning to action seen from some adults and people in authority proves a mental imbalance and disorder that now invades the minds of children, moving them to act as seen or educated in violence.
EDUCATION MATURES THE MIND
Education is a gift the wise pursue and inculcate in others.
A gift preserved down the centuries is the Bible. Sixty-six books filled with human history. Their struggles, jealousy, revenge, disobedience, psychology, proverbs, grace, forgiveness and the meaning of love and sinful conduct. Yet some humans disregard the principles and morals of their teachings to walk their own path or to follow others on a road that leads to the destruction of others and eventually their own lives.
Those whose desire is to live a Christ-like life that is often countercultural are the ones who struggle with those whose attitude is to destroy.
To you who are hiding behind a screen or from the public’s view is nothing but a coward and a freak that only comes out at night. Your bullying of others makes you feel superior, but should you face or acknowledge your weakness as a woman or man (standing alone), you’ll see beneath you a fearful child, not knowing how to handle the responsibility that is the epitome of a real man or woman.
Therefore, I plead to you to stop and become responsible with the freedom you have. I will keep on praying for you, as I pray to be removed from the company of individuals like you who impede my journey.
