Have you ever laughed at your enemies?

Question

Have you ever had someone try to knock you down but you see right through them and you realize it's their own envy & insecurity making them try to tear you apart? Because they are so small (minded if not bodied!) and they recognize your greatness? Because you have so much potential & they have none?

Have you ever had a moment of clarity when you recognize a bully for the coward he/she is?

Have you ever just smiled, shaken your head and thought "Oh well, sucks to be you..."?

:)

& isn't it a great feeling when you don't care anymore? When their cruelty bounces off of you because you like who you are and they obviously don't like who they are or they wouldn't have to attack you?

What a longwinded question! Tee hee...

Cheers cats...

Answer 1

I have learned to stay away from them.
" The company of the ungodly increaseth sorrow,.....whilst fellowship with the righteous cleanseth the rust from off the heart."

Answer 2

Nothing quite as intensely as you portrayed, hee hee. ;-)

But there was someone who did much harm to me during my youth, I never told my mother about this because I didn't think she would believe me.
Well, a couple years ago, I found out this person's life is falling apart, he is having financial problems, is terribly unhappy and has lost almost everything (he had been a rich man).
Initially, there was a part of me that felt a hint of satisfaction, like life had finally given me some of the justice I had thought was deserved for what he did to me.
Feel differently about it now, my way of thinking (regarding that matter) has changed.
It just doesn't matter to me anymore, I feel like its a waste of myself to invest my time, thoughts and "feelings" into something that already passed a long time ago. Thankfully, don't have him in mind anymore, realizing that life is taking care of him as it should, so I can freely move on with mine.

Quite frankly, I am who I am now because of all the happy and painful experiences. Have found that there can be good (minute as it may seem) that comes from the moments which cause much pain. Finally learned and accepted this.
:-)

Oh, by the way, do laugh sometimes when people become really touchy about my opinions. Just because of finding it silly, at times.

Answer 3

Sometimes I laugh, mostly I feel sad for them and then I pity them. They're predictable by and large and I will confess I've made a game out of it on more than one occasion. I've provoked a fair share of excitable types over the years and it's always the same, they have to get the last word in, the more conciliatory you are the more enraged they get and finally they spend a lot of time thinking about the exchange after I've moved on to other more interesting things or've forgotten all about it. I'm lucky though in these situations, I haven't much of a conventional ego for the slings and arrows of someone who uses their brain for bullying and I'm physically a pretty big fellow so if it's fisty cuffs I make it very unattractive to engage in a straight up fight. Why can't we all just get along? LOL, cause we can't!

Answer 4

Basically a bully is a coward no matter how tough they are on the outside. Essentially it is fear that drives hate and insecurity that drives jealousy. No need to worry about folks like that. They will either change their ways or die a small bitter person and no one will care. I kind of feel sorry for people like that but not so much that I would not laugh at them.

Answer 5

I find those moments of clarity very useful. Helps me to plan my next move.
If a person has taken the step to attempt an attack, especially if they fail in that attack, the next immediate reaction is usually depression and self disgust. By reaching out to your "enemy" at that time, you can help them back to their feet and help them find their dignity again. Resulting in respect with appreciation.
Not always, but the few are worth the effort.

Answer 6

The problem is that the bully perceives you as having done something wrong. Until you recognize how others are perceiving you, you will continue to have a flow of bullies in your life. The laughter is short lived. You will continue to have others subject you to a barrage of people tearing you apart.

You could ask the bully what you did that offended them so. Putting others down only makes us like them.

Answer 7

When I was a kid, there was this older lad who was the ultimate bully. He never bullied me, but not many escaped his wrath.
As he grew older he remained physically violent towards anybody and everybody. He was also never happier than when he was ripping someone off.
I had a 'Jag' he wanted badly, and he had a Vauxhall estate I needed for work, so we did a part exchange with him owing ME £150- (GBP).
I'd see him often in his local and remind him he still owed me money. After about six months of this he turned to me in a quiet corner and said; "You know me Pete, and you know you're not going to get it, so just let it drop EH?"
I knew what his intention was so just walked away.
Later that year he came to me with a proposition. He was building Four houses for a client and he could get me the plastering contract for all four if I'd slip him a commission.

Of course, I did the work, got paid, and shortly after this chap approached me in the pub to see if I'd been paid-up.
He made the mistake of asking for his commission infront of everyone there, as you have guessed already.
I simply said; "You know me Trev, you're not likely to see that, I used it to pay your debt, plus all the interest".

His jaw dropped, his eyes went red, but he wasn't sure he had the physical ability to do anything about it like he normally would.

He wasn't seen in the pub again for a good six months after that. (What a beautiful moment?).

Pete.

Answer 8

Yeah...Bullies suck...(you almost feel sorry for them before you light up on their a ss...)

I relate...

If someone is picking on you, Amp...you just say the word, and Daddy RU4REAL? will grab them by the scruff of the neck and toss them into a dumpster, urinate all over them, and then spit chewing tobacco juice on their unconscious, painfully twisted form as I slam the lid down on their pathetic excuse for a body...

And even if their not picking on you, you just say the word, and I'll do it anyway...

'Cause that's what friends are for, don't ya' think?!?

Answer 9

I feel exactly the same way. Its an empowering feeling for me & in my mind I walk away from the situation & person. It's not worth my time :)

Answer 10

I like to act like I write everything they say down. "Let me write that down." It pisses them off. First thing they always come back with is "Write this down!" but that never lasts, lol. You should try it :)
