hurt = knowledge

I felt terribly hurt before, but what did i learned from it? First, we all get hurt, its part of being human, that having hurt feelings is a defense mechanism to protect us from an emotionally distressing situation. To avoid feeling terribly hurt, here are some things that i have learned. We must lower our expectations, because a good deal of our hurts has to do with our expectations. We expect to be reciprocated with good for the good that we do. Next is be at peace to everyone. We hurt others either by what we do or by what we fail to do and by what we say or what we fail to say. If we hurt somebody, we need a genuine apology, to clearly identify the wrong done and accept direct responsibility for what had happened. Refuse to be enslaved by tyranny of the oversensitivity is the next thing. If we try to please everybody all the time we will become slaves to the tyranny of those who are impossible to please. Somehow we have to draw the line between giving necessary attention to those we have hurt and in contrast, trying to massage the sensitive egos of the oversensitivity. Next is take the initiative for reconciliation and deal with hurt feelings promptly. When we allow a hurt to fester, we soon turn it into anger. When we allow anger to fester, we turn it into resentment. Resentment then becomes BITTERNESS and BITTERNESS turns into hate - hate of the one who hurt you. We should remember, hurt feelings are inevitable. Thankfully, they need not be debilitating. Hurt feelings could be overcome.
