Children live what they learn? Bullies are the bullied too.

If there is a mimetic 'instinct' built into humans (and I think the evidence is strong to say there is), then, perhaps, this is no surprise. "bullies are more likely than their classmates to suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and behavioural problems from early childhood and through primary school. They are more likely to suffer from mental health problems later in life too." More details here: Study finds bullies are the bullied too | Education | guardian.co.uk. It could lend support to my thinking that 'original sin' is transmitted via a cascade of detriments internalised by the mimetic drive; that is to say it is both socially-generated and yet innate.
