As I read your introduction, A dream I had long ago came rushing back into my head at full throttle, so there must be a reason. Briefly:
A small child is being bullied by a larger, very harsh, mean-spirited boy. The child being bullied throws is hand high in the air for the other children nearby to see. All the while this poor victim is yelling, "RING! RING! RING!". Suddenly, all the children nearby come and encircled the victim, placing a protective barrier between him and the bully.
The bully tries to break through the ring to get at the child being protected, then MORE children rush in and encircle the bully. Now all the kids, except for the bully are shouting, "RING! RING!"
The altercation now ends.... as does the dream.
Now, how can we get something like this happening in the schools and neighborhoods ( and offices and courtrooms and prisons and shopping malls) everywhere to break once and for all the bullying that happens everywhere and so that every child on this face of this small Earth understands what the OP is talking about?
Each one of us, in our hearts, knows on some instinctive level, that as fluffy of a word a "love" is, it is a universal concept that even the creepiest person understands EXCEPT for those few who have had their conscience removed, impaired or were otherwise born without one. Maybe all of us don't think we can honestly say we love everyone ( even though we probably do), but in the absence of hatred, is it not LOVE which remains?

Hah, Oxy doesn't even know this thread is a top headliner on the front page yet. I don't think I've ever seen this before. But I think it's really cool.

Just briliant. Weird nickname, reminds me to someone, hmm.
It may be a lil wierd, but haven't you ever heard the song "love is like oxygen".
