glamtran Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi, I've been doing some soul searching. I often hear of people even on this forum say things like 'you deserve better' 'you're worth it' when someone is hurt and grieving, and 'everyone makes mistakes' is often said when someone does the hurting. What if the people who are hurt have also done shady things in the past or even the present, and aren't really good people themselves? How do we know they deserve better? And, what if someone intentionally hurts, disrespects someone? or absolutely devastates them even if it wasn't malicious? Happens all the time. If everyone deserves to be happy, and we are all offenders in some way, there really aren't any long term consequences to screwing around with peoples feelings are there? I have a hard time accepting that.
Toodaloo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 You will also see posts where we get stuck into people for messing up and not being a good person and not being all that... When someone is hurting though its called "Empathy". You don't kick a person when they are down. If you do then it reflects more upon your own character than theirs... The long term consequence is that you have to look yourself in the mirror and live with the person that you are. OK so some can do that but the majority when all is sad and done can't.
