The World And All Her Words
1. What Is A Bully

The last time I ever took on a school bully I was seven. All I recall was the teacher wading into the crowd of kids in the playground and pulling us apart. I don’t know why we were even wrestling as I was new, all I do now is that I never much liked being told what to do or being pushed around. Nor have I ever liked seeing others being pushed around.

Which I why I think we are not up to much as a species as we act just like the school bully but on a world stage. No thought is ever given to saying people must limit their numbers to give other animals room to breed, no thought is ever given to simply not building more homes and bigger cities – we just go ahead and do it governed by our individual lust for money without any concept of the finite. I hear politicians telling me innovation and technology will always get us out of the problems the system creates.

I only know one thing about bullies, they never stop unless they are stopped. I don’t think nature likes being pushed around, and I don’t think she takes it indefinitely. Every playground and every planet needs a balance and right now we have upset all the balances.

We are the ones who will fall.
