anyone who degrades another is actually looking at their own crevices.What has been said and done to them.They never admit this not even to themselves.Its always the "other"
loose language used tells all.In trying to degrade they are actually in a round about way trying to heal.They dont know this and some never find out
But this is not an excuse...its a reason and there is a vaste difference.
And when this character trait gets promotion...we see the results.

Listen to people...I read a lot of essays as a lecturer and this kind of behaviour leaks into written work too.
Think about the poltican in Pakistan who was shot this week by his guard..for defending his belief about women..The politican spoke out knowing he was at risk ..
I was fortunate to be brought up in an enviorment of respect and this has served me well..but I am still always shocked when I meet those who attempt to harm others with words..
