Simba (street name) met his wife fishing. I love that. Sadly, Simba's wife was very sick from complications with diabetes. She needed a kidney transplant. Simba's wife was on the transplant list at USC Medical Center, but while she was waiting for a donor, her health got worse. The emotional stress of being her caregiver was hard enough; when his wife died, Simba became severely depressed. He started to self medicate with marijuana to help him sleep. This was four years ago, and people's views of marijuana were much different then. Today, it probably would not even be an issue, but Simba's landlord used his cannabis use to evict him
 
 

 


 

 
This was beyond his control and because of an unfair reason he is now on the streets at age 65.

Well, I don't know. You're telling the story. What I do know is that some bullies feel they don't have much power in real life. But when they get together with others of the same ilk as is the case with cyber bullies, they feel they have something they could never achieve individually.

 

Sad, yes!

 

But ....

 

If only the knew what they could achieve by talking to others properly and interacting with others, even on topics that make them feel uncomfortable, they would feel empowerment by learning something new.

 

There's nothing to be gained by being a cyber bully or flamer.

 

Now with this man Simba who the thread is about, let's hope that someone can come up with a solution for him that works in the form of a long term solution.

If you feel so strongly about it, why not pay for him to come to Australia, and he can come live with you. Don't forget to warn him about the local 5G towers though. You don't want to be killing the man.

That's OK. Probably better replying to the person you are implying to be the bully.
