Why Insult

Insults make the person insulting believe being strong

They say it is

bad conduct.

All law and

the system of

reward and

punishment is

based on

judging conduct.

I learned from the

wise.

Some of them did

teach me the cause

of conduct of insult.

I here will tell you

what I know, you are

the judge and say it

is right or wrong.

It is normally conduct

displayed by wealthy

and strong, not the weak

or meek or poor.

The reason as understood

is the desire to impose will.

When insulted, a man feels

weak, incapable,

or worthless.

That prompts submission.

The one insulting has this

as the main or only aim.

The reality is it a

reassurance to themselves

that they can impose, of

which they were never

sure. It makes them

believe in the falsehood

of being worthy of action.

The truth is when we insult

we are hiding weakness not,

displaying strength.
