Be Still & Silent

I still remember of being bullied terribly in school. Maybe during my 5th or 6th grade. There was a constant fear for me. At that point of time finds a list of worst in my personal history. have you been discriminated against vs-vs? If yes, how did you overcome it? If you were bullied in school, did you ever come across the bully later and if yes, how did you deal with it? 

And finally, are children by nature selfless or selfish? Are the concepts of empathy inborn or taught in some children? Why do some children seen kinder than others. 

A friend said, be still. Be silent. Maybe we can be glad that we didn't sully our thought and our tongue by saying things we didn't mean. To not react to dishonestly that plays out right in front of us. To not to react to unkindness or any sort of a situation that we may deem unpleasant. Easier said than done, to not to react to an accusation. I can say that and still react the next moment if something irritates me. 

But for now, may be the answer is in being still. Being silent.
