Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 14
Title: Your
Worst Bullies Are Inside Of You!!
In the High School, I was
the Class Prefect from Class 1 to Class 4 (I dropped that in Class 5 to pick up the School Prefectship) and in my Class, there was a huge guy
who was my class mate. He was far older than me of course and quite big for his
age though. He was always making noise when the Teacher was not around and each
time I asked him to stop making noise, he would threaten to deal with me after
School. I was not the only one he bullied by way of words, other students both
in my Class and other Classes had a taste of his bullying attitude. One day, he
just decided to disturb the entire class at every small provocation, I had no
other choice but to report him to the Form Master, who called him to the Staff
Room and gave him 12 strokes of the cane on his buttocks. He came back to the
class room fuming like concentrated sulphuric acid and threatened to kill me
that day; I looked him in the eyes and called off his bluff, daring him to do his
worst and true to his words, he waited for me as I was descending the staircase
to go to the dormitory and started chasing me as soon as he saw me, naturally I
ran but something happened, he tripped over a stone and fell flat on his face, squashing
his nose in the process and bruising his face. He was bleeding from the nose
when he looked up and students gathered to take him to the dispensary. I tell
you from that day forwards, he became as calm as ice cold water in the Class.
Why have I told this brief story? To let you know that people only bully you if
you give them the permission to and that if you stand up to any bully, he is
more likely to give you a space than continue in the bullying act. But do you
know that your worst bully is not the one that physically bullies you, it is
the one that resides in you and which slowly bullies you into submission even
when your spirit is willing. You can see a Physical Bully but a Mental or
Psychological Bully, you are not likely to see except you have a discerning
spirit to spot it. The two most dangerous bullies that reside in us are the
mindset and our thoughts. In the next two days, I shall dissect the two, so
that we will be better informed but for today, if there is any physical bully
right before you, call off its bluff and watch it take a step backwards.
