I agree with you on "what if" because it can always be better or worse and it's how we react, right?

I have always believed to just BE KIND to all living things because a smile or a kind gesture can really turn someone's day around and give them a little hope, just for that moment. We don't know what is happening behind closed doors with people, so just show a little kindness. It's easy and free. Thank you for this Arik. It does provoke thought.

I read your post today, and I too wonder why bullying is tolerated. I never allow it not toward me or in front of me. One of my classmates recently pointed out that I always defended those being bullied. I think we need to teach this in school. Positive behavioral intervention and tools. Thank you for speaking on behalf of victims, but also why we cannot put our heads in the sand with regards to mental illness and all forms of violence.
