"Why hurt, when you can love"!

By Hannah George

"Why waste hours cursing at a person, when you can wisefully spend time uplifting, embracing and consoling that troubled person who may have made you so angry that your first immediate reaction was to swear at them. Think, brace yourself, be calm-headed, and instead of doing what seems to be what a person deserves who may have hurt you, have courage, stand boldly, and do what may seem hard to do, share and show love to whoever tries to rip every fibre of happiness away from you. Some people will use you, and throw you aside like an old rag, however you should know within yourself, you are the image of beauty, in and out, you are valuabuale and deserve respect as an individual. "So what should you do?" Well from personal experience I have learned that those who hurt people the most, are those who are hurting the most. Its like all they've become accustomed to is hurt pain and shame. It's almost what their mindset becomes relatable with, so it's what they dish out to others without even considering... I may have really hurt her, or him by what I just said or did. I will choose to love, even if my heart is ripped into millions of pieces, I refuse to take the easy way out and show hate and bitterness to the one who has torn my heart apart. If I choose to hate, then I am no better than the one who has hurt me. "Why hurt, when you can love!" Yeah I know you may have millions of resons why you may want to hurt someone who has wronged you, howver these easily streaming reasons that may come to your mind quickly are just cop outs, the easy way out. I have been used, dissapointed, and hurt many times, but I refuse to allow bitterness to be the end result of such an amazing life I was priviliged to live. So I am going to love hard, especially those who hurt hard, my love will be their recovery from the baggage of hurt and hate they may be carrying around so tirelessly. So to whoever of you who have been hurten by a loved one, companion, or just a passer-by in whatever way or form, choose to forgive, choose to be free, choose to let go and let love reign. Show that person if you have the chance to face them again, that you will love them, whether they deserve your love or not. Choose to love, not hurt!."
