Hurt permeates our lives
Physically through injuries or chronic conditions,
Verbally with words of shame, bigotry or taunting,
And emotionally through death or loss.
I can’t understand why people delight in hurting others.
I know they must be in pain themselves
But does it really make them feel better to belittle another,
To rake their souls as easily as they would rake their skin?
