Hurtful Mark
When you leave this planet, how do you want to be remembered?
Each written word is part of the story that we are drawing with each step we take. Tomorrow, a good number of us will probably no longer be here. After all, life is slipping through our hands quickly.
However, everything we built, with some luck, will still be here the day we are no longer here.
Everything in life is transitory, love and hate; even the disappointment in love that we feel today.
When we are experiencing a painful feeling, we imagine that we will hardly be able to get out of that alley of shadows, but that feeling will one day pass.
So it is with everything. Therefore, those who for one reason or another aspire to be remembered after their death should think carefully about the type of memory they want to leave behind.
Would you like to be remembered as a person who dedicated your whole existence to hurting all those who helped and loved you?
Yes, it is inevitable to harm others indirectly. But it would be important that we work day by day to try to stop hurting others on purpose.
Yes, all human beings are hurt by the toxic actions of others. But is that reason enough for us to lower ourselves to the level of those hate-filled people?
It takes a lifetime to learn to let go of those feelings because after all, we human beings are driven by our baser passions. But if we become aware of the fragility of our existence, we learn to value what we have and give the right weight to our words.
Let’s try to assess whether what we are going to say is necessary, fair, and really going to contribute something positive to the life of the person with whom we are talking.
In these times, due in part to social networks, many people find it extremely easy to go through life hurting and trying to destroy everyone who crosses their path. Let’s not forget that we are talking to human beings just like us, with dreams, desires, ambitions, and above all, with feelings just like ours.
Spending so much time in front of computers, coupled with the difficult global situation, has made kindness slip through the fingers of many people. We live in a constant state of alert due to the violence that constantly floods our screens. We walk down the street thinking that the person next to us is going to try to hurt us. And while it’s okay to care so much about our own well-being, at what point do we begin to see the other as our enemy?
Let’s get out of selfishness for a moment and think about what kind of mark we want to leave in the lives of others.
