Maybe as a dad at some point I may have been a bully. Maybe as a husband I may have been a bully. I remember when I was in High School, I was quite an insecure kid at times and then very brash and confident at other times. I've certainly been on the receiving end of old boys school type of criticism. One thing about bullying I've learned from a mindfulness perspective is that it's always from a lack of identity and a lack of connection to oneself. It's always coming from an egoic structure that is afraid, but also needing to be seen in a way that is superior. These days I have the ability to see through that veneer of what's driving the bullying and to look at the underlying true nature of that person and not see the bully but see the beauty of that being.
