Observing wildlife, you notice they’re bullies among them. Some scientists would explain the phenomenon as part of Evolution. The strongest survive and in the process of surviving, the weak sometimes pay the highest price.

What’s our excuse? Why do WE bully the weak? Kids at the youngest age enjoy it like it was a prize to be had or to impress the whole of their group, girls included. Why do some girls admire bullies?

The macho admiration from society doesn’t help matters. And it continues way past childhood or adolescence and into adulthood.

We should know better when we’re older, shouldn’t we? If someone with a bully mentality gets to be the boss of a company, heavens have mercy on his underlings.

I can’t help but suspect some sort of deficiency in their cognitive prowess, and cowardice is one of their common traits.

It’s time to evolve. We’re late already.
