As has been long documenting, (forever), those people who are abused, become the abusers. Those people who have been hurt, are the ones who hurt others. It’s pretty easy to see, all you have to do is look around at society—look at those you have known, and you can observe those who have been on the wrong side of this equation and have been damaged by the words and the hands of others.
 
When you look out to the world, you see it all the time. People who are saying and doing hurtful things. Though they may each have a reason for doing what they do, if you take the time to ask them their reason why, that reason/their logic is rarely based upon the truth of the truth, rather it is simple based on their excuses for who they have become and why they feel justified in what they are doing.
 
Nothing new here… I’m not saying anything new. But, what I am stating is what very few people ever consciously take the time to think about before they unleash the pain.
 
In the digital world, where there are seemingly no consequences, people have unleashed all kinds of hurtful words and actions. Most have gotten away free and clear. But, do they/do you ever consciously take the time to calculate why they are doing what they doing which is, quite obviously, based in negativity. In fact, think of all of those who have supposed, got behind, and cheered on those who unleash negativity.
 
Think of all the statements that are made, the comments that are posted, the proclamations that are instigated... All based on what? Answer: Some negative something.
 
Even more importantly, look to your own life in the Real Life. How many people do you know that behave in this manner? How many have unleash pain via their words and/or their actions? Do you?
 
It is easy to see the causation factor for what a person does. All you have to do is to chart their actions back to their source.
 
For example, there have been a couple of people I have known since they were very young. They, like I, had a fairly messed up childhood. Though we each were formed by our childhoods, and we each reacted to our childhood, they, unlike me, never tried to fix themselves. Here's where the true makings of a man, (or a woman), comes in play. Yes, you were formed by your experiences. If they were based in negativity, yes, you may turn on the re-play and emanate those known experiences and unleash them onto others. Or, you can be the MORE and change the pattern. Yes, it is hard; very hard. But, it can be done.
 
So, take a moment right now and look at yourself. Look that those you associate with; both in the world of true reality and of the digital, what do they do? Does what they do originate from a place of goodness, truth, and rightness? Or, does it come from a place of negativity and hurt and misdirected retribution, emanating from what was, (once upon a time), done to them?
 
Look at yourself. Whom have you hurt with your words, deeds, and actions? And, have you ever truly looked deep into this reality? Have you ever looked at what you have done through the eyes of the person you have done it to?
 
Truly dig deep into that place of blatant honesty, and chart your reason for doing what you did; behaving in the manner that you did and affecting the life of that someone else in the way that you did. Have you created another monster like yourself? Have you sent another person down the pathway of reflecting hurt and negativity and badness, causing harm to the life of others based upon your instigation? Mostly, ask yourself, right now, how honest you are being with yourself about this subject?
 
So many people justify what they do because they feel they have the right—be that right based in their ability to overpower another person in the sense of physicality or from far via their words or their hidden deeds. Some people simply believe they possess the right to judge others. And, if they don’t like the words or actions of that someone else, SMASH, here comes the hit, simply because they believe that other person is wrong, and they are right. Some people are simply just so vain and misdirected that they do what they do with little or no consciousness of their actions. Thus, they damage the life of someone else without even being aware of what they are doing.
 
At its root, we can all agree hurt only equal hurt. We can all understand that judgement is simply someone believing someone else is wrong based upon their own limited understandings of what that someone else is saying or doing. But, in all of that Mind Junk, if pain is unleashed, what is the ultimate result? Pain, equally damage.
 
So, who are you? What are you? Are you the instigator of pain? If you are, and you do it either from a very cognizant or unconscious perspective—if you have unleashed the pain, based on whatever you can attribute your actions to, what have you done? Have you made the world a better place? Have you made the life of that other person, on the receiving end of your pain, any better? Or, have you simply caused more pain and, thus, re-instigated the path of further pain?
 
Really, who and what are you? Really, who are what are the people you associate with? Really, are you making this world a better or a more pain-filled place?

Your ability to cause pain; no matter what justification you attribute your ability to do so, is not based in the betterment of anything. At best, it is based in your physical ability, your judgmental mind, or your misdirected logic. Hurt never helps.
