hurting people part 1
Tuesday, June 23, 2009

This week I am going to dive into some things people do to hurt people. Whether it is on purpose or not on purpose there are several things we do or say that hurt people and it doesn't seem to bother most people. Now, let me first start off and say I have done my fair share of hurting people. I have said things to people that I am completely embarassed of. I have done things to people that I would never want done to me. I have unintentionally hurt people too. I think we all are kinda in the same boat here.

So the first way people hurt people is by the things we say without thinking. So we are at Hy-Vee and a lady asks my wife "how far along are you"? My wife says " I still have 6 weeks to go". No pregnant woman feels beautiful really, so this lady proceeds to say "are you having twins"? Who in their right mind talking to a woman who already doesn't feel beautiful would go off and say a thing like this? Now if a guy says something like that it is expected cuz most guys just say stupid things. But from another woman who has kids to a first time mom? Geez. Here is my point - Now, people say whatever they want and they don't really care if they hurt anyone's feelings because "well that's what I believe". Most people don't use a common sense filter when they speak. So as we get started this week, let's start by watching what we say to people. And if we do say something completely ridiculous, say your sorry. Common people, get it together. And for the record my wife looks great pregnant.
