Well, as a kid I got bullied at school, quite a bit, and I DO remember bullying other a handful of times.
I remember being conscious about it and feeling like shit for it, but at the same time being so relieved because as long as someone else was being bullied, I wasn’t.
I certainly did not enjoy it, mainly because it contradicted my vision of myself as a courageous victim.
Seem to be assuming there is a higher purpose for bullying, which seems to be making a mistake along the same lines as the parable of group selection.
Possibly bullies bully because they enjoy it and aren’t stopped from doing so. What additional explanation is needed?
