Hurting people back won't heal you

-


When someone or people hurts us, it's natural to feel angry, betrayed, or at most, vengeful. We might be tempted to lash out and hurt them back, thinking it will make us feel better or bring some sense of justice. But note, hurting someone in return rarely brings the healing or peace we seek. In fact, it often perpetuates a cycle of pain and resentment.

Hurting someone back may provide temporary relief or a fleeting sense of satisfaction, but it only deepens the wounds for both parties involved. It fuels negativity and perpetuates a cycle of hurt and retaliation, leading to further damage to relationships and emotional well-being.

True healing comes from within, not from seeking revenge or inflicting pain on others. It requires forgiveness, and letting go of resentment. It's about acknowledging our own pain and finding healthy ways to heal, rather than projecting our pains onto others.

Choosing not to hurt someone back doesn't mean we condone their actions or let them off the hook, NO. It means we prioritize our own well-being and refuse to let someone else's hurtful behavior define us or dictate our actions. It is about breaking free from the cycle of negativity and choosing to respond with compassion and understanding instead.

In conclusion, hurting people back when they hurt us may seem like a tempting way to alleviate our own pain, but it ultimately prolongs the cycle of hurt, hatred and prevents true healing. Instead, we must focus on addressing our own wounds, practicing forgiveness, and choosing to respond with empathy, kindness or distancing ourselves from those who hurt us. Only then can we break free from the cycle of pain and find genuine healing and peace.

Make Your Tears a Smile

Happiness comes at times to us, but sadness comes unbidden; Remember that amidst the smile, a few tears must drop If at times you feel you want to cry because life is such a trial, Remember that above the clouds, there is a bright blue sky Don’t give up If a friend have sadness written on their face Because trouble round them pile up; Remember that the world would be a better place to them if you smile and assure them that all will be well As you travel on life’s compulsory journey Filled with ups and down Remember that before a gold becomes the gold you so much admire, it went through fire So don’t give up because there is a light at the end of the tunnel When you keep aiming for something and all seems not to work according to your plans Remember that good things of life doesn’t come easily, make your effort worthwhile Make your tear a smile Smile is very cheap amongst the world’s expensive gift And you don’t know whose world you are lighting up with your s...

AIM LIKE THE SPIDER

I was sitting on the 13th floor alone Brooding about life, When a spider caught my attention. It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there. It climbed back up every time it fell. Why does the spider climb so high? Striving to get to the top? Why is it is going that high? It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there; Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it get there. Well, that’s what I chose to believe. The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor. Only a small thinker believes there is a particular height to be attained or a particular height is hard to be attained.  Never stop climbing till you get to the top. When you get to that top you have been aiming for, Aim for something greater than that top and never stop climbing Be like the spider and don’t hesitate to devour whatever challenges that may come your way Don’t give up Maiden Wura

Navigating Uncertainty Without a Timeframe

  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates. As humans, we naturally crave certainty and predictability, so when there's no clear deadline, it goes against our instincts. Waiting without a timeframe can have detrimental effects on mental and emotional well-being. The prolonged uncertainty and lack of closure can take a toll on one's mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and even depression . It becomes increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook and...
