Perspective

I am in process of choosing to forgive others for past hurts and came across the following that I wanted to share:

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over.

He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message that he is sending.

- Thich Nhat Hanh

To put it into Perspective. Some people are just A$$ holes and life is to short to be their Punching Bag or try help them find their inner problems. Most people hurt others only because they don’t care.  Forgive them in your heart and move on.

It's true...yet still frustrating because I would rather the person tell me how they are feeling and how they need help, rather than lashing out at me.

But I guess most people don't feel they need help or know how to go about asking for it. It's easier too to be ugly and mean.

I think we need to look at ourselves and think about if we really want to repel people or attact them.
