DEFEATED BULLY Like to know what worries a bully when he behaves
brutally? He fears that you will not give him attention. Above all else he
craves for you to notice him with your tears or screams or arguments. So
when these fail to appear he falls into confusion and defeat. His idea of
total terror is to be casually ignored. Test this. Quietly ignore a cruel
man, then carefully watch him. You will see a former hero who is now a
mindless crybaby."
