So Much Hurt...

Some folks have been hurt often.  Some folks have been hurt deeply.  Some folks have been hurt in ways they can't put into words.

Some hurts are physical (I don't know which hurts worse, back pain or dental pain...but they are the biggies I have known personally).  Some hurts are emotional.  Some hurts are mental.  Some hurts fall into the category of spiritual (it could be that when you have a soul-hurt you have a real doozy of a hurt).

It would be true to report that I have hurt folks, sometimes on purpose, more often unknowingly.

Everybody reading this blog-post has been hurt, and has hurt others. 

That's life.  At least, it is life the way we live it.


Its not always easy to escape the hurt.  Time does not heal all wounds.  Its easy to say, "Get over it," but its hardly ever that simple.

Here are some words from wise people and sources that might address in some way how we can take an exit from the hurt, and move toward healing:

*Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. ~ Mother Teresa

*We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are. ~ Talmud


*One should count each day a separate life. ~ Seneca

*With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing. ~ Catherine de Hueck

*There is no such thing as justice -- in or out of court. ~ Clarence Darrow


*Take a day to heal from the lies you've told yourself and the ones that have been told to you. ~ Maya Angelou

*The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
    ~ Mahatma Gandhi


*Don't cry when the sun is gone, because the tears won't let you see the stars.    ~ Violeta Parra

I hope your hurts are few.  And that you refrain from hurting others.
