Not the usual fare, but then again there was neither content or pattern to be found here.
A lovely lady, who visits this place has recently contacted me in what seemed like a brave face and ended in tears. Ladies and Gentlemen, love and its pursuit is a war zone but do try to be kind. This is not any gender or role specificity, it is a result of being hurt and wishing to bite back. Human nature regretfully and none of us, myself included, are above it.
This not written to brow beat anyone. We are all adults here (I pray to god on that account), but sometimes the act of it escapes us. There is some hope that by penning this, for a flash of time, these words will come to mind and allow cooler heads to prevail.
Hurt will come. For those of you unfamiliar consider researching the hedgehogs dilemma, a brief half page read that fantastically demonstrates human interactions. At the very least it allows one to temper expectations, and contemplate their own place in things.
I encourage everyone to consider what they will get by responding to pain. If they are in the correct state of mind to respond. What they hope to gain and what they are likely to gain by responding. If any of those contemplation's lead to making a jab or saying something that could hurt the originator...then don't. You're pain will not go away and its likely to come back to you by teaching or reinforcing through example.
We can have better dialogs. We can wait until barbed passion is capable of being forged into constructive passion. We can also part on better terms, even in the worst of times. Rather than put more spite into the air or allowing someone a further platform to spite you, consider the block feature available on most all apps today. A very useful tool in cutting bad conversations forever short.
We have to try to be better so that all of us can be better.
