I said I was leaving but I am feeling so agitated right now, maybe it has to do with no therapy this week. Sometimes I wish I was in denial about people, people are good... blah blah blah Why do we hurt others? I just don't get what one gains over doing this. Is it power? Is it to take away pain?
I so want to believe people can be kind, a lot of people are, but it is the other side that comes out, that frightens me. If you met my mom, she would seem like the most friendly person ever, with a great sense of humor. But do you ever truly know a person? People didn't know what she has done. Do all people have a bad side that hurts others?
My T even told me that Mother Teressa got nasty when others criticized her missions.
So do we just need to accept the bad because we all have it in us and nobody is exempt from hurting others? I just feel like hiding again, I would rather hurt myself than allow myself to be hurt by others which makes me want to hurt them back. Why? Because of my ego. It is sad.
