The real problems in the world are not jerks, but rather the "nice" people who allow the jerks to be jerks. Because if jerks were not allowed to be jerks, jerks would not exist.
In psychology this is called co-dependency, or the inability to stand up to and confront others.
A great example of this is the rule and reign of Hitler. Everyone around him was too afraid to confront him, and so thousands of people were needlessly killed.
And there are little Hitlers running around all over the place. People who try to boss others around. They try to dominate others out of fear etc. and no one says anything to them, no one confronts them, because they are too afraid.
There are Hitlers in churches, in work places, in homes. And the only reason they are allowed to remain Hitlers is because someone is spoiling them. Someone is creating and perpetuating the monster. Someone is not standing up to them.
So if you are confronted with a jerk, do society a favor and confront them. Stand up to them. Don't let jerks get away with being jerks. Don't ever feel like you deserve such treatment. Such people need to know that jerky behavior is not ok, or else they will never change. May God give you the courage to stand up to any jerks in your life. God bless! :)
