> HELPING "HURTING PEOPLE"
>
> Ask yourself, "Do I hurt people, or am I easily hurt by them?" Then
> consider these trughts:
> (1) Hurting people hurt other people. The German poet Herman Hesse wrote:
> "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself.
> What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us." Hurting people lash out
> in response to what's happening inside them. They feel or believe
> something negative within themselves. Try to remember that.
> (2) Hurting people are more often hurt by people. Let's say you've a
> splinter in your finger and it becomes infected. Then someone brushes
> against it. You howl with pain, "You hurt me!" No, the real problem is the
> splinter you neglected to address. Hurting people over react, over
> exaggerate, and over portect. They also over influence. Ask any counselor
> who's dealt with a hurting couple. Emotionally one spouse "throws up," the
> the other "cleans up." Usually the individual with the most pain does the
> most damage.
> (3) Quick fixes don't work. The kindest thing you can do for hurting
> people is ask them, "Are you prepared to work through the issues and get
> beyond your pain?" When a New England pipe cleaning company was working
> under the streets to clean our a sewer line, they found: sixty-one diamond
> rings, vintage coins and silverware. It was an unpleasant job-but they
> were allowed to keep the valuables they discovered in the process! Now,
> you may have to do some digging and deal with some pretty nasty stuff, but
> in the process you may discover some treasures you didn't know existed,
> and at the end of all your hard work, develop some healthy relationships.
