On my way to library, the radio host was taking in a call from some guy named John. I started listening in the middle of their conversation so I could not figure out how it started, but it was obv about him picking on somebody and subsequently making him feel better. The host mentioned when you feel good, John, by picking on someone inferior to you, that means you are insecure that the fact that somebody don't have what you have makes you feel better or superior to him. And she goes on *picking on* him.
Yes, I agree with her that picking on someone is usually motivated by insecurity and also his childhood which also allowed him to be picked on.
But just because we don't pick on someone doesn't give us a right to criticize, also another form of pick-on, others. Then how different are we from the others? it's very pernicious that we fall into the very same trap they stepped on by seeing thorns in their eyes.
Let's talk moderate, point out what's wrong and focus more on how we can help eliminate thorns in our eyes, not just theirs.
