Why the disturbed and/or bullies generally win - and will continue to do so!

Having had a first-hand opportunity to be hurt and punished by a disturbed/bullying couple, I have been given the chance to really understand the dynamics of how – despite any and all efforts to rid our society of such people – it will never happen; there are just too many factors working against that particular pipedream. First, like the great story the Emperor’s New Clothes, there are few people who will stand up to bullies or disturbed/malevolent people – and even if/when they do, the bully and disturbed just keep going right about their business with no shame, contrition or change in behavior. One day, I hope, people take more interest in recognizing how they will continue to thrive rather than trying to answer why - it took me awhile, but it was worth the wait. Sadly, there have always been and will always be a certain number of pathologically suspicious, aggressive, passive-aggressive, sociopathic and psychopathic (psychotic sociopathic) individuals. These people by nature exist with little regard for others and/or at the expense of others. They often cluster together– after all, everyone likes being with their own kind. So, how do they do it? First and foremost, the disturbed and/or bullies routinely pervert the notion of granting an accused party the opportunity to choose silence when accused of wrongdoing. It makes perfectly good sense to have a burden on a party claiming foul against a presumed innocent. This notion is a hallmark of humanity. The disturbed and the bully - including almost all non-human entities such as schools, workplaces, corporations and government agencies alike – have mastered the ability to twist this noble idea into a mockery – they do their deeds, make their accusations, impose their penalties on the weak and then defend to the death their right to silence. Someone/anyone wants to know what happened – silence; someone has direct proof of false accusation and/or unjust punishment – silence; a suffering victim/accused with questions or proof of absurdities – silence. Questions from others – silence. It is indeed perverse when systematic silence is a viable option to be used by the take your pick -disturbed/bully/accuser/system; this is totally different from an option of silence for an accused and it totally assures that the disturbed and bullies will flourish. Now given the above, one might think that all it would take is a groundswell to hold the disturbed and bullies – whether individuals or systems – accountable; to insist upon answers or evidence and/or to insist that obvious proof of malfeasance be addressed. Ah, to insist upon reason rather than silence in a world where silence is golden - A world where insistence is nuisance – A world where the “real” threats from people who are sick and/or bullies, and the systems that support them, dissuade all but the most noble from taking reasonable actions to support anyone but themselves – if even that. The disturbed and bullies prevail and they will continue to do so – it’s easy. “There is no reason that good cannot triumph over evil – it’s a matter of organization” “I’d suggest that good consider organizing more along the lines of the mafia.” Woody Allen
