Random thought for the day:
Each and every one of us has some sore spot - some part of us that has been "burned" - some point of tenderness, and some area of sensitivity in our lives. It is that wounded part of us that needs delicate care and soothing treatment. When something or someone touches this raw area we can experience a "burning" sensation of hurt, anger or misery. It may be a mild, innocuous comment, but any contact with that bruised part of our ego can cause an intense pain to shoot right through us. It, on the other hand, may be a lukewarm action - one that was really not meant to cause any suffering - but handling this sore area can also create tremendous discomfort. Returning to immediate normalcy is out of the question - dealing with our own sensitivity to the issue at hand - the issue that has caused us the distress - is the primary concern and one that needs careful addressing so as to prevent resentment, grief or rage at the audacity of the individual who has made the comment and/or issued the action that has resulted in opening our wounds.
