Demons

 


We had an interesting class last night.  We are speaking about mental disorders that can alter the journey of one's path.  Are they really mental illness or the attempt at being a coward? I have always wondered about the mind of the coward, though.

Here are some of my thoughts:

  • Cowards are pretty consistent in their cowardice. I’ve never seen a coward doing something brave.
  • If you put a courageous person next to a coward, the coward will become less scared; or more brutal!
  • However, it is possible that she (the coward) is just acting brave because she is afraid of the consequences of having a braver person witnessing her cowardice.
  • Short: the coward becomes braver because she’s afraid of being called out.
  • Never blame a coward! It’s not her fault; or is it?!
  • Never trust a coward!
  • Bravery is the most inconsistent virtue of all.
  • Alcohol makes people brave while a hangover can turn you into a coward.
  • Once a person has committed an act of cowardice, it’s very difficult for them to change their behavior. Cowardice sticks.
  • Bravery, on the other hand, doesn’t.  It is easier to bully behind a computer screen than it is to live in the real world.
  • Coward is an ugly word. It isn’t helpful and should never be used on the battlefield.
Since I am in a soon-to-be legal battle with a coward, as I look through the documents that will be presented, I am seeing a pattern.  A pattern of concealing the demons; a life that has not been an easy one, and a life filled with pain and suffering. 

Mental illness or self-induced?

What Your Bully Doesn't Want You To Know About YOU ..

You may not have heard alot about Adult Bullying , but it is becoming a serious problem.  If you have kept up with my blogs, you have read some of my experiences with my woman adult bully.  Yes, an adult, and should know better.  One thing to remember is that as people mature and progress through life, they learn to stop such behaviors in their youth.  Sadly, some adult bullies are just children bullies who have grown up.  While adults are more likely to use verbal bullying as opposed to physical bullying, it is still adult bullying just the same! Our Adult Bully has been a blessing to us!  It is surprising what makes her "tick".  And I have learned a few secrets about her that have helped us understand her sadness and loneliness.  Other emotional issues are involved but it should never be an absolute excuse for cruelty and bad behavior towards others.  It is like keeping your dog on a chain and enticing it to freedom! Remember, it is not easy being a bully !  Th

Defining Love ..

The past few days have been crazy days.  My poor husband has been up and down and down again in his health.  Between an ER and doctor visit, it has been busy.  These are the type of days that can be discouraging.  Whether it is a negative coworker, an exhausting friendship, or a challenging family member, there are times when we just want to give up on people and feel as though all of our love and patience has run out.  My husband did not fall into this category of discouragement and despair, but there were a few others that did.  There is that obstacle of loving people who are hard to love.  I believe in these circumstances we need to be reminded of the truth, of the reality that we have access to a love that is always giving, selfless, real, and true. Our ability to love is a heart issue.  We have to realize that there are times that we may have the completely wrong definition of love.  To have true love is action, it takes courage and vulnerability.  It is a giving

Spiritual Manipulation

Image
What is spiritual manipulation?  Spiritual manipulation is a technique used by abusive individuals to control others and acquire gain, all the while giving the impression that their teachings are based on the Bible.  Some persons, like our cyber bully, take scriptures out of context to persuade the uninformed that their interpretation is right, even to the extent that they alone have "the truth" and everyone else is wrong.   Some individuals manipulate scripture for their own personal benefit, to make themselves seem more than they are and they are righteous and approving.  I guess, obtaining a minister's license on the internet makes one a bible scholar! Bullies who use spiritual manipulation have always been around!  They are NOT HAPPY within their own lives unless they are fighting a battle.  They tend to maneuver to get preferred placement among their peers. Our cyber bully does not recognize herself as a bully.  Yet four banker boxes and large
