To say he’s a bully is an understatement.
He likes to think he’s in control. Intimidating. Larger than life.
Like all bullies, his favored tactic of intimidation
is mind control. If you think he can defeat you, he already has…without even breaking a sweat.
In order for him to feel large, you must feel small.
To feel in control, he must smell your fear.
You think it’s all about you, but it’s
not. It’s bigger than that. Much bigger than that. You are a pawn. Bait. The appetizer
before the main course. He couldn’t care less about you, except that HE cares about you.
That’s what matters.
He wants to hurt HIM. Make HIM suffer.
Make HIM worry. Make HIM small.
He fancies himself a roaring lion, seeking those on
which to dine, believing that because he’s eating regularly now, it will always be so. He believes HIM to be impotent
to protect you. HE’S not.
As with all bullies, the day of his comeuppance is
closer than he’s willing to believe. Probably closer than we would believe.
