Shining Thru

It’s amazing how easily someone’s feelings may be hurt.  You can hurt someone with something so small to you, maybe even just a simple remark, question, or statement; maybe you don’t even realize that you have crushed their feelings. 

What about when you know that you are over reacting and still can’t help it.  When you know that someone would never want to hurt you, but you can’t help but feel the sting of their remark?  How do you get rid of that feeling?  It’s easy to say suck it up and move on…unfortunately no two people’s minds work exactly alike and what may seem like one simple comment to one person may spiral into a whole big scenario in another person’s mind.  Maybe that comment has emotional consequences that you can’t even begin to fathom…..

It’s probably the other person’s fault for letting their feelings take over their logic for that amout of time, but I think that most people struggle with this battle throughout the day.  Sometimes something just pierces you and you can’t help but associate it with other things in your mind.  It’s nobody’s fault really…because you can’t help the way that you feel.  I don’t think you’re suppose to help how you feel, but it is important to deal with them and not let them fester until the point when they will explode and there wont even be that logic behind them to let you know that you’re over reacting and not being logical. 

I think it’s important that we realize what great power we have over the people who are close to us.  However it is equally important for us to realize when our feelings are not being logical and probably have no merit in the situation to begin with.
