Recently I’ve heard of many incidents where one person
has cut down, degraded, insulted, bad mouthed or was just plain mean, you name
it, to someone I know.
It hurts the person I know whether they put on a strong
front or not debunking the notion that words can hurt after all. They begin to
doubt themselves and their self-image starts to falter. The bigger picture is
about the aggressor.
It’s sad because the aggressor, deep down, doesn’t
accept himself so he projects his dissatisfaction with himself onto others. In his own twisted mind this makes him feel
better. Consciously he may not know that it’s the real reason he does what he
does but it is.
Yep, it truly is sad that someone has to make someone
else feel bad in order to feel good. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’m not happy
with my life and therefore neither should you be. Now you’re on the same level
as me so I can feel better about myself.”
At the core he doesn’t accept himself and therefore love
himself as he and his life are. Accept is a love based emotion. It would be better if the recipient was
emotionally strong enough to bring the aggressor into their positive energy, to
change the dissatisfaction into acceptance. I wonder what would happen if the
recipient responded in a kind loving manner. Would it jolt the aggressor into a
different frame of mind? It’s an action worth trying. What do you think?
