Picking on people weaker than you.

"Just don't go and slap around someone who's much weaker than you, that's what I'm saying"

Someone in your life found your vulnerable, soft underbelly and is just wailing on that bitch.

 lol, you can't fuck with my mind bro, don't try.

You assume that they would care about that weakness in order to make such a standard for themselves. You can't tell me that if in the wild, you'd choose to be on equal terms with your prey for dinner, as we both know it'd not be the case. It's only the case witAh people because nons tend to value human life more by default.

That being said, targetting the weak and vulnerable does nothing for me personally. I'd rather have a challenge. But if I was hungry, that poor rabbit would no longer just be a pleasant sight to see in a field, it'd be dinner.

 I wasn't talking about hunting prey for food. Of course you'd attack a weaker animal in the wild for food. But I'm not referring to a jungle sort of environment. I'm talking about modern day in a society, and there are still people slapping around weaklings because they think it makes them powerful or gives them pleasure.

They are really just weaklings themselves to an extent because they need to pick on people that can't fight back.

Hmm, I might sound dubiously altruistic, but when I encounter someone who seems timid and have to cooperate with I tend to mentor them in ways that would toughen them up and make them understand what I'm doing, while I'm at it.

I find myself doing the same when the person folds to easily. I find it a bigger challenge to rehabilitate and strengthen them. This gives me my entertainment,  while building a solid, predictable ally from the ground up.

Anyway you don't have to win against a stronger opponent you just have to better at manipulation than them. Or manipulate them to manipulate for you.

I don't get in physical fights, and I'm not doing anything directly competitive with my life at the moment, but looking back on times when I was, I never was mean to someone because I wanted to start a fight with that person. Usually it's just about defending myself or expressing my opinion...I can think of a few times when I was the bad guy, and looking back, I regret my lack of self control because two times, the same thing happened. Burned bridges with someone it would have been better to keep as a friend, just because I felt like it.

You can keep your code of honor, but I'll agree with it in the sense that I've learned that losing control like that rarely leads to positive results.

By weaker you mean people considerably below you. Always picking the losing fights is not a sound plan.

I don't actively try to pick on anyone I perceive as weaker than me, but it is hard to resist. If I see serious flaws in a person, I begin to despise them, and finding little ways to make them miserable is very pleasurable.

If I want something from someone and they happen to be a weaker person, then I really don't see why I should stop and say to myself, "Gosh, even though he/she has what I want, I better not target them in case I look weak"

lol, right...

Who gives a fuck if they're weaker or not. If I want to step on someone to get what I want, you can be damned sure I'm not going to give two shits how weak they are.
