a posting of my fave Christmas song, Silver Bells, performed here on a TV special from 1969, by velvet-voiced Perry Como and glamorous Diahann Carroll

I can say with complete confidence from both study and personal experience that low self esteem is the cause of all despicable behavior. I worked things out in my early to mid twenties so overall, having the background provides valuable insight. Interestingly, nothing is ever black and white because I never defended myself in a fight as a kid. The ritualized infliction of pain struck me as stupid but ending it quickly involved a good chance of causing someone permanent injury. If I didn't hit back, the desire to appear brave and strong would not be satisfied so the aggressor would soon stop hitting me and I tended to win verbal battles anyway. This latter skill was very much a two edged sword, as you might imagine.

As with many of his era, he could sing a song. Enjoy the Holidays.
