indecisiveness

Okay so. What do you think I should go about this: Im all for peace and love among people. And I notice someone bullying another person by saying unnecessary things. For a second I wanted to say something to a bully. But then I realize I would be a bully- too since it meant Im picking on a person. And if I tried to stop the bully doesnt it mean I try to take away their freedom to speak their opinion or thoughts? Is it really okay to censor people in a place where the vibe is negative? If so where do you say is the line between acceptable intervention and where intervention is ignoring person’s feelings and honesty?
ReplyYou can tell when someone's being a bully or not with the way they use their words towards another person. If someone's giving their honest opinion about something, that's not wrong. However, I think you would know when someone's being honest and when they're just picking on someone. An example would be the bully's victim's reaction. If the victim is feeling uncomfortable in the situation or discouraged by the bully's actions/words, then that's when you know to step in to address the situation. If the "bully" seems to be addressing their honest opinions towards someone, they might just be expressing how they feel out of anger and frustration. It's actually hard to answer since I'm using words instead of real life examples, but I hope you kind of get what I'm saying. If things seem bad and the victim seems to have no defense for themselves, maybe then you should interfere in the situation and check up to make sure nothing's too serious. To be honest, I've never had to deal with this type of situation much before, but this is how I would imagine it would be.
