Hurtful things people say

[ToyGirl]

Mob mentality occurs when fear of being the odd one out is projected as hate onto those who are different in some real or imagined way.

It is a disturbance and insecurity in an individual, that is broadcast to gather a group equally insecure and in need of validation. A group in this frenzy becomes a mob which can deal out a storm of hatred. Like the butterfly changing the weather pattern, a single unchecked insecurity can lead to a Holocaust.

It takes courage to step in and add one more voice of support for those who seem to be different - and run the risk of being a target along with them.

This is where Evil is born, and where it is to be confronted.

Look at what you have at risk by acting, and by not acting to oppose the hatred. Choose wisely and carefully what to do on this ground!

This is so very true , people in groups will say horrible things , yet if you talk about them 1on1 , they will say oh they were only joking around to fit in.
