Last post of the night is actually my most prevalent thought of the day.
Let me ask you…
Why do people use love to hurt each other? People do it a lot. It’s the kick the dog syndrome. In times of rage, why do we hurt the ones who love and trust us most? There’s so much hurt cycling around and we’ll keep perpetuating it unless we make very conscious efforts in every day life not to add to the negativity of the world. The Butterfly Effect works here. Any output of negativity gets rippled out. Some splashes are bigger than others depending on the severity of the negativity. But to be honest, can we really not hurt the people around us? No matter how conscious we are, no matter how much we care, no matter how much we love and adore them? Can we ever get to a state where we never feel anger? Because if there’s anger, it has to go somewhere. Even if we reach a state closest to external equanimity, we are still going to feel some level of anger. We’ll hold in this anger until the only people we trust to show it to are the people closest to us and most intimate with us. So the only way for you to get out that repressed anger is to do it in front of someone you trust enough to show it to, probably hurting them a great deal. Please don’t do it anymore. It’s really rough on those who love you.
