Hurting People

"Hurting people hurt people." -Pastor Chris

 

I am taking a stand on my own thoughts. When people are rude to me I am going to stop thinking the worse of them, but instead I am going to look at the situation in the realization that the reason the person is being mean is because they have been hurt. It is so true though when people hurt people, it is because someone has hurt them or they're simply hurting on the inside. I need to look at the world through the lens of God; looking at the good in everyone and the good in everything. There is a reason for everyone's action, and I am choosing to think their action's justified (not always agreeing , but understanding where they could be coming from).

 

For example:

 

Someone cuts me off while driving: They must be trying to get to the hospital since their son is being born.

 

My professor yells at me: He just found out his wife is leaving him.

 

Roommates mean mug me: They must be annoyed because they didn't do too well on a test.
