Bullies, acting alone, can be faced down, but bullies in a group are called mobbers and feed off each other in a feeding frenzy of rage and violence.

Run towards the lone bully to deter them; run away from the mob in order to survive, and pick them off at your future leisure.

People who pay attention. Most learn the hard way because the hardship helps memory, but observant can learn lessons from other’s mistakes and observe effective behaviour. That comes at little or no cost to the one learning. The teacher need not even know they’e being observed and taking the pain

Some do. some don’t. Not everyone has to crash a car, go bankrupt, get divorced or conned by scam artist.

Are you saying that catastrophe is the only way to learn? Thank fk that medics who train for years don’t have to learn every learn that way or there would be a hell of a lot of dead people!
