IF YOU take a close look at the butterfly in this photo, you will see that its wings have sustained quite a bit of damage. Yet, that butterfly will continue feeding and flying in spite of damage suffered from predator attacks. In fact, butterflies have been observed going about their daily activity with up to 70 percent of their wing surfaces missing. It’s incredible that something that appears to be so delicate can live a full life in spite of suffering so much adversity. Similarly, many people can display a resolute spirit. Despite suffering from great personal hardships, they do not give up. Like the butterfly, they may appear weak or insignificant to the human eye. But they possess an inner strength that enables them to move forward.

This can be true of victims of psychological torture that includes gang-stalking and covert through-the-wall torture weapons. Their strength can be demonstrated by refusing to abandon high principles when facing the cruelty and spitefulness of their persecutors. Is such restraint an act of weakness or courage? A recent article in Psychology Today (April 2008, Second Nature) corrects a common misperception regarding courage. “It (courage) is motivated not by fearlessness, but by a strong sense of duty. People who behave bravely often say they were afraid at the time, says Cynthia Pury, a psychologist at Clemson University. But their principles forced them to take action.” Exercising restraint under a continuous barrage of aggravated provocation is a principled action that requires great courage.

The victims of long-term gang-stalking and related forms of abuse demonstrate a courageous adherence to Christian principles when they refuse to adopt the spiteful actions of their persecutors. They remain loyal to Bible principles such as “Return evil for evil to no one” - Romans 12:17. Such courage is an essential component of their success in overcoming the adversity thrust upon them.
