  1. A quotation from Thoreau

    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 2 “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For” (1854)

  2. What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

    1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
    2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
    3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
    4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
    5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
    6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy
