I hate cruelty, and bullying.
As a child I was always a big bruiser. So it wasn't ever a physical problem, charging in, and stopping other kids being bullied. Even then I didn't give a fig, if it meant the majority, the gang mentality, would turn against me, and I would be ostracised from the group. Strangely it didn't. Probably being able to make people laugh, meant I was accepted, despite being 'different'.
I do get the ocasional pang of guilt today.
Wondering whether it's cruel, and bullying, to attack those who are cruel, or bullies.
