Panflick: The Manhattan Bully Wars (1947) | Manhattan Bully Wars (1947): "Falstaff: Can honor set-to a leg? no: or an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no. Honor hath no skill in surgery then? no. What is honor? a word. What is that word, honor? air. A trim reckoning!--Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth be hear it? no. Is it insensible, then? yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living? no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore I'll none of it: honor is a mere scutcheon:--and so ends my catechism. (Henry IV Part One V, I)"

The current notion that bullies are after status is erroneous. Bullies are deprived and despondent souls driven to prove themselves by strength. As with everyone else they can only be freed by becoming aware of values embedded deep within, values that contradict received values, which Shakespeare makes clear in the text above.
