Have you ever noticed that the biggest stone throwers are the most easily taken back when one gets thrown back at them?
Well, I notice this all the time.
I've known people who very glibly can toss that stone at someone, but can't take it when someone tosses it back at them.
Personally, that's why I usually don't throw stones on purpose. I don't like to judge people and their actions, because I really don't live in their skin. I don't have their life experiences to dictate their reactions to situations.
For example, the big bully at school who huffs and puffs and wants to blow everyone over....well, 98% of the time, I think they are usually bullied at home. I saw a lot of this while my son was growing up and attending the local high school. The biggest talker, bragger, stone thrower was usually going home and getting beaten up physically or at least emotionally every time they stepped foot into what should have been their haven, their home. So, these poor kids strike back by being the 'big man (or woman) on school grounds.' They fight their way through every waking moment of their day. They often don't act like they care about anything, except intimidating everyone.
Hmmmm, so that's why I think sometimes the big stone throwers get a huge surprise when someone fights back and tosses that stone right back at them. They've never tried to throw it back at their abusers, they try to find someone whose intimidated by them and they start 'flinging.' So, when someone dares to throw a stone their way, they have all they can do to contain themselves. They feel the hurt that they've inflicted upon others, but I don't think it cures them of it. In fact, I think it makes them throw bigger stones. Afterall, the only thing these poor people really know is how to 'fight' their way through their day. They haven't been taught anything else, so they have no good examples how to 'correct' their behavior.
So generation after generation of bullies raise yet another generation of bullies.
Sad, isn't it?
