    A comment on Conversation: What is your favourite quote and why?

    Apr 1 2012: "It is what it is."

    I use this so much because you can get so carried away by the dramas in life and this just helps me to stay centered and realise that every action is how it is, and even if the meaning of that action is not understood at the time it is what it is so.... what. Always moving forwards and living and appreciating the present moment.

    A comment on Conversation: Are grownup bullies teaching kids how to bully?

    Apr 1 2012: I believe that a bully is also the bullied, it is a learned behaviour. So if you want to blame anyone it could be the parents? But then it becomes a cycle because the parents were probably bullied and so on. It's a catch 22.

    Every situation is different and I think that pointing the blame at someone is not going to help to solve the problem.

    I think everyone has to be more aware and come together as a society, that is the only way there will be a change. There will always be bullies but if we look at the bigger picture we will see that the bully is also the victim and so on.

    I don't have the answers but I know that it will take a fundamental shift in the current state of the world for there to be less aggrevation and more untiy, less hate and more appreciation of life.
