If the other person hurts you, it gives you the high ground. Do not settle it yourself.
Eh...
Do not directly or indirectly physically or verbally attack an opponent.
Try telling that to some people...
You gain an advantage under any civilized authority if you let an attack lie.
Eh, not here.
A sweet answer turns away wrath, remember this and use it often.
Not here.
Do not backstab. It's the sneakiest, most effictive, most frowned upon strategy.
Confront a bully face-to-face, stand up to him.
Tried it, and it didnt work. More often than naught I ignore them. They're not worth the time.
Do not attack a bully, instead merely tell him that you are changing your ways and he will no longer rule you.
Hmm, perhaps.
This works best in the specific context of being under a civilized authority. If the bully knows his stuff, and isn't just insecure, it can turn back on you.
Yep
A bully is insecure, try to help him out of his troubles so he no longer hurts you or others. Do not imply there is anything wrong with him, however.
Some people just won't take help.
