Some things in life are
repairable. People and their hearts may not be. An unkind
word, detachment, or betrayal towards another who has loved and trusted you
will often cause permanent damage and heartache.
People who are insensitive towards
others and are in the habit of hurting them . . . be it a child, spouse, parent, friend,
sweetheart or casual acquaintance
should be made aware of their lack of compassion towards people's
feelings. (Maybe this article will do it). Until they are finally confronted and made aware of this
selfish pattern,
they will often continue to touch others in a negative way never looking
back.
Here are a few
tips:
WORDS
- Words are very
powerful. Select them carefully - and really mean them - not
for the moment - but for the long run. Avoid blurting out words
with the purpose of hurting another in a situation. You cannot
take them back. The person may forgive - but usually will not
forget.
DETACHMENT
- Detachment
towards another person is very
hurtful unless they have done something to qualify your behavior. This is similar to the
spoken word. Once the bond is broken - the egg shattered - it may
not be possible to reconcile and resume the relationship as it was.
BETRAYAL
- Betrayal
is the most demeaning
put-down to another. To do so makes a statement that you never
respected or loved this individual. You have violated their love and
shattered their trust.
Love is the creative
force and cohesive element. Without it, we become isolated and out
of harmony with others.
