I was also bullied in high school, and I even asked the one who bullied me "why the violence". Apparently, because I was taciturn and passive. (I know I'm 'gentle' enough not to hurt the other person, even if he kills me. After all, that would do me good. But then I managed to stop the bullying with kindness.) Although why would anyone find that offensive, I don't know. But I realized there does not have to be a reason for it. I think it is a punishment for being different from the abuser or to refusing to serve his highness? It is also a way to show "this is your lowly social position, so I can get away by doing this".

When I was paying the tuition fee in the secretariat, and came back more times to split the higher fee, the secretary told me that I was exceptionally honest - as in, ready to pay the full amount, with no embezzlement. I'm not a very social person, but the cue I got from this is like: morals seem to be come by rarely these days, huh...?

To quote a book:
"Every young adult has the potential power to help the entire world. He just needs the right guidance and support. Without such guidance these youths have turned into selfish beings with a very self-centered view of life. For their own worldly comfort and happiness they will prey on others. He who renounces his own happiness can make others happy."
