Why hurt us?

When we hurt others unintentionally, it is only fair that they tell us what we have done and how it has affected them. And it is only fair that we in return, change our ways or try in whatever way possible to make it up to that person.

Believe it or not, there is the other side to that coin. The people who set out to hurt others…that is the "intentional hurter."

These include people who swear that they are your best friends and care the most about you. They come into your homes, into your lives and observe your every move.

They know what you enjoy and what you do not. They know what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are, and when you least expect it, they cut you down. The people you least expect this from are the people who do it.

Call me paranoid, but from my experience I am telling you that these creatures exist.

I may be na?ve or stupid, but I am never able to see through these people until they have done what they have set out to do. I guess there are those of us who always see people for what they can truly be. We always see them for the "good person" that they are…or at least so we thought.

Well when it comes to dealing with people and letting them into your home and your heart, it is good to be paranoid to a reasonable point. It is wrong to judge people but it is sometimes a very healthy practice when it comes to protecting yourself.

One question I constantly ask myself is "why would any human being want to hurt another? Aren’t we supposed to live as one happy family?" Well the only answer I can come up with is jealousy.

But then again, back to the dustbin bomber. What makes him jealous? He/She/It(I refer here to whatever organisation may be involved) is just sick.

I understand some hurts in life are necessary hurts. They are necessary for us to grow and learn that not all that glitters is gold, but there are some hurts we could do without.

Human beings intentionally hurting other human beings is very wrong.

We are supposed to be our brother’s keeper and we are supposed to ensure that we grow and progress in life and be happy for each other. Not the opposite!

This is something that will always amaze me…human beings trying to hurt other human beings.

If I ever hurt anyone, I want to say today that it was not intentional and I am sorry and at this point if anyone is trying to hurt me or any other person I warn you be very careful because the way things are in this world you may be looking out for and awaiting my downfall so much that you may only see your own after it has happened.
