The Bully mentality in America: The Journey to Prosperity

Were you aware that bullying is a pattern of aggressive behavior with a power imbalance? So why do people both young and mature have a need to bully? Does it really come down to a sense of power over the person they are bullying? I believe the growth in bullying stems from none other than the emotional ties mixed with the thoughtless yet ready availability of the internet and fingertips combined. Let us think about this together shall we?

    We know growing up getting bullied, outside of the online world, rather with peers in person is mostly about an individual being unique from others in some way, shape, or form, ei being different; paired with people not knowing how to develop an understanding of it within themselves. Now this is completely normal. A person with more knowledge is to correct the behavior so all is well within a community. This is how to properly prosper. 

Let's look at Jeremiah 29:7 “seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare” this verse God is talking to the Jews that were exiled to Babylon. 

Mathew 22:39 "And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'

These two verses God is encouraging to  actively contribute to the well-being, prosperity, and peace of others because if one person falls we all fall. If we are building a house with cards all the cards have to be perfectly placed and aligned because if one fails then the entire house crumbles. We are all in this together we all share the same DNA, because any human of any race on this planet can mate with another human of any race on this planet. 

   A well known rapper, who is self named as “Queen of Rap”, Nicki Minaj has faced bullying and harassment via the internet by people for standing up for what she believes in. It takes courage to stand up and be transparent with such vulnerability, as much as she was comfortable to show the world. Just imagine yourself speaking out in today's world on your beliefs that might go against people. I'm guessing most people wouldn't. As a woman who can rival and compete with men, in an arena where men are known to dominate, Nicki should have been handled with respect, no matter what just as any body should. We are tearing people down for simply having an opinion of their own. In fact our society is so bully mentality that people just jump to bullying as the very first action before thinking or thinking at all. Has anyone thought about Nick's feelings on this? Has anyone thought about approaching Nikki in the correct manner e.i. like a civilized person  with love, respect, non judgement?  

    I have heard people in the last few days talk about people dying, calling people ugly, among many other things, and it just doesn't stop; and I'm talking about the elders of the community. So are they severely delayed with understanding people or never been taught how to and therefore exerting their “power” over others as a result? I believe after generations of receding to a new normal it just becomes the thing that is. It's sad that something as simple as bullying is to get under control and dealt with properly would end up becoming a thoughtless wrecking machine that is contributing to destroying communities and people are blinded to it. 

Not only that but it affects the ability to have a proper “warm” heart, as the bible says “the hearts of many will go cold” I believe this is one of the reasons why, as people don't care due to peer pressure etc. and eventually just become embedded within a society without a second thought.  Thank you

** I was all over the internet leaving mindless comments (bullying in a sense) about my own opinion and really it was just some feelings I had that I didn't know how to properly express and I would spew them out very negatively, I am forever grateful God saw the heart in me and saved me. So now I am trying to do the same. 

* I am making a part 3 to my Zodiac and the Fallen as soon as I can. Please stay tuned.
