I believe it is always a bad thing, but only for the bully as they have a character flaw and make an idol out of bullying others in order to gain satisfaction rather than just being content regardless, which makes them inherently unhappy and frustrated individuals prone to bullying others even more in a vicious cycle.

For the bullied, I see it as neutral in the same way that someone's house being wiped out by a storm or someone getting severely injured by another man by accident is neutral. Some will learn from it, grow stronger and move on while others will be believe their life has been ruined and they will become more insecure and unhappy.
