Navigating the world requires a bit more discernment. Hugging a teenage bully and speaking to him with kind words does more for society and the bully himself than just “treating him like he treats others”, but it also requires more wisdom and self-control, for example.

Now my experience is purely anecdotal, but the bullies stopped bullying once I fought back, and even more so once I got others to also join me in physically fighting back.
