I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: ‘The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that’s fair.’ In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. ~ Bertrand Russell ~ [Source]

Having studied in school, one knows when one is being bullied for getting in the way or just by being there. Sometimes, because one is smaller in size, one gets picked on every day until one is afraid of going to school.
