A Message All Should Hear

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2018)

Full disclosure, I worked for Ringling...Circus for five weeks many years ago and have had a lifelong appreciation for the circus and all the stories behind the curtain. Currently, I am writing my life story (Bullied nearly To Death; Loving MY Life) about being bullied and the subsequent suicide attempts I tried due to the bullying.
I was amazed at how well "The Greatest Showman" depicted P. T. Barnum as a man who saw and embraced "unusual" people who were ridiculed, insulted and shamed for who they are. We are all different in so many ways, but we are also still the same in some ways. In the film, the bullies are the hoodlums and protesters, but they are also the snobby people who believe they know what is best in society. In the end, the bullies have the last laugh, and many others laugh along with them (not at them) for many generations after P. T. Barnum created his masterpiece.
It is a pleasure to speak at Anti-Bullying and Bullying Awareness meetings and events to explain my story and to educate others in how to stop bullying. "The Greatest Showman" is a great example of how to overcome bullies. I tip my hat to all who worked on this wonderful musical Thank you all!
