Mentality of a brute.

Share

A matter prevailing throughout the country and around the world is bullying. It is such a heinous, brutal act that has a drastic potential of engulfing and utterly masticating to bits the better mentality of its preys. As a matter of fact, this odious act has been pernicious in so far as it has been the reason for the demise of some innocent blossomy lives that have just started to revel in the bliss of youth with, once for sure, innumerous anticipations in their minds adorning this uncanny form of life. This calamity is nevertheless able of being extirpated. For that, the mentality of such brutes ought to be brought into inquiry.

Bullying can be perceived as a matter of an illness inasmuch someone who is not healthy is called ill by accepted definitions. Yet, the question remains; how can a bully be asserted to be unhealthy. The answer is manifested by the definition of health established by the WHO. A person who finds joy in brutal acts of bullying is socially and mentally ill. Therefore, the person is simply ill. However, what causes this defect and the remedy for this disorder are the main questions focused here-as they must be for the betterment of humanity- in this disquisition.

Power stands out in the list of causes of this malady. It is said that power can at times drive the humane into inhumane, and the sane into insane. Power, it ought to be observed that, is powerful of being perilous depending on its existence. However, in most of the cases, power is handled humanely for the good of humanity. A man, when he is powerful, seeks more power unceasingly at least until his endeavour is gratified in the long run. For this, various means are bestowed. He can be powerful when his fellowmen are not powerful, and he can be even more powerful when he extorts power out of them. He can secure his power by letting not the others be powerful, for to have another powerful man around him is selfsame as saying that he is not powerful. Therefore, it is a possible option to let not people lift their heads with power and position. This concatenation of causes gives birth to bullying, when a mind is distorted enough to the extent that it can actualize its fancies that shall wreak havoc and devour golden humanity digesting them inside an abyss of callous and gloomy cruelty.

Another cause of this disaster is the social background of people. Social background has infact a great impact on the shape of one’s life. If someone comes from a disorderly environment, trodden by mental stress, then he is capable of seeking relief by giving the same feeling to another. But this act is abominable, and by it humanity is questioned.

Still and all, the paramount is the invention of a solution to this matter. How can bullying be hampered, is it by bullying the bullies. And the laws established against bullying is a form of bullying the bullies. It is evident that the establishment of laws shall not be a solution. A prostration before authority is not an admittence, but a feign obedience to appease the fear that does not fear any power, that is death and punishment. Then, what exactly is the solution for this is the comprehension of the potentiality of the matter. People should comprehend what humanity is within the small societies that they live in. It must be understood that all forms of bullying are merely bad and abominable. There is no man who is willing to be tortured physically or mentally.

There are instances where people bully people with the false intentions of doing good to the society. But their power ought to be for themselves. They cannot extort the freedom of another person owing to the freedom they enjoy. If they do, it is ruthless and preposterous, for they are hindering freedom in the name of freedom. This sort of bullying may be coercive or sometimes persuasive. Regardless of its nature, whatever the good it does, if it harms a person’s freedom, then that action is flawed. Suppose the government establishes laws to tame these deformed minds. It does help to a certain extent, but it has no power to exterminate this wrong act from society. This means that there should be another alternative.

Turning towards a form of scrutinized pragmatism there seems to be no exact solution to this problem. A bully shall be bullying as long as his mind conjures the evil inside to action. Therefore, it should be understood that the sole solution is dependent on the psychology of such oblivious victims who eventually become the predators giving birth to more victims. They must be, somehow, coerced to perceive their behavior as calamitous and the joy and the position that they are striving after are but temporary that shall in turn torment them once they realize the futility of their life as a citizen in this society. One should not be apathetic of bullies, but everyone should be sympathetic of them, for they are the first victims in this nexus of events when the matter is subject to a deeper contemplation, thereby helping them to overcome their hardships by helping them to refurbish their deformed mentalities. But, at the same time the innocent lives ought to be secured from the potential threats that may come in to light. Therefore, the time has come not to recite a dirge for such demented personalities who jubilate in front of brutal actions, but to help them realize the gravity of their inhumane behavior and transmute themselves to a form that may testify before the glory of humanity.
