Today's Horoscope

The stars want to remind you that you shouldn't be a bully, and you shouldn't mock people. With social media, the problem is getting worse, because bullies can hide behind a profile, and they will, because bullies are cowards. They are insecure and petty and afraid, because they have no confidence or pride in themselves. Most of the time, they try to find pride in things that have nothing to do with them or any personal accomplishments, like nationalism or religion.
So they try to mask their own shortcomings and self loathing, and anytime you try to do that, you just expose who you really are and make yourself look bad. The true bully, who has no idea of their own self image, or the image they present to the world, will then double down, and make themselves look like bigger fools and cretins.
They don't even care, because they are that far gone, desperate to seem important or powerful, and acting the exact opposite.
So you might feel pity for the bully. You might think about what a sad and lonely existence they live, pushing everyone away and sabotaging themselves.
Do not pity them too much, because they make life so much worse for their victims. They waste time and resources, they breed negativity, they enable hatred and corrupt the system, they sometimes drive their victims to suicide, and the victims who don't kill themselves often have lasting scars that haunt them the rest of their lives.
So the stars implore you not to become a small minded, frightened and weak bully, who can only feel better about themselves through the misery of others. You are poisoning yourself as you poison the rest of the world.
And if you are the victim of bullying, remember that it isn't you that has the problem, it is the damaged psyche and starved ego of someone else. If you are a child, get help from your parents, or any adult that you trust.
The bullies of the world have been trying to hold the rest of us down for all eternity, but they are not winning. They cannot, because they damage themselves as much as they damage us, and any damage we incur is because we let them. Don't do the bully's work for them, and don't engage them online. They only want attention, and if you withhold it from them, they wither and die.
Let them die.
