Blunt Force Truth: People hurt others because they are hurt. Or is it to remind you to be more compassionate? Even when someone is hurtful to you, you still have that choice.
Remember this. If the hurt sinks deep, compassion naturally rises.
Compassion rises to the top because it’s lighter.
But if you’re hurt, you gotta find that compassion rising within you. You can’t just brush it aside and be hurtful back. That just keeps the same cycle repeating over and over again. Compassion transcends that karma.
=D
True. One should strive to be compassionate. It is not always the first reaction to being hurt. But it does matter and one should aim for compassion, no matter what. Thanks for this reminder.
