Random Thought 138 - Intimidation


Intimidation is a coward’s way of concealing his inadequacies to truthfully air his side on the matter and thus, try to instill fear to his opponent.

When you are put to a position where you need to take sides and defend it to the best of your ability, it cannot be simply ignored that deep inside you know how to calculate which side is truthful and right enough on the said instance.  One should not take sides or become and expert to determine which party tells the truth and which one tries to cover it. 

Since you are tasked to take sides and defend it, the burden of proving that your side is right lies now in your hands.  Of course, there are several factors and strategies to consider in order to gain favor over a particular dispute.  The way you present your arguments and defend your side makes a big difference.

But there are some people who, despite their expertise and ability, choose to intimidate the other party.  By intimidating or bullying the other party, they are sending a wrong signal to a person who is already charge to fight to fight even harder.  Because what they are showing is already a sign of weakness and  they already “admitted” their defeat at the very beginning of the fight.  Hence, intimidation or bullying is their best camouflage to conceal their weakness.
