When some body pokes stick into my open wound I feel hurt.
Though I think feeling hurt due to others action reflects our
own poor/weak mental state.
What causes you feel hurt?

I get upset when there are empty promises. Someones word is very important to me.

Yes and no. Yes, it is a refelction of your own poor/weak mental state (I would have used the term "ego") if you are easily hurt by others. Unkind remarks or finding out that others don't like me rarely hurts me because I have matured past worrying about those things.

However, if you spouse suddenly wakes up one day and says, "I no longer love you and I"m leaving" or a parent says to a child, "You are worthless" then I think that would hurt. And, the pain would not be a reflection yof your poor/weak mental state.

Being lied to/deceived.

Pyxxie, assuming that poking a stick into an open would of yours hurts you, assuming you agree with the opening post; then what would happen if somebody promised to poke you in your open wound, but never did?

Would you feel hurt, due to a promise not kept, or would you feel pleasant, due to the lack of physical hurt?

Edit: here I used "promise" as every threat is a promise of something nasty to happen. A threat is not a promise of something good to happen, but it is a promise nevertheless.

Lot's of things can hurt me temporarily, however when i push aside my injured feelings It's easy to let it go. it's normally only that my ideals have not been met by someone .
Being hurts a part of life, accept it and enjoy it, it makes it heaps easier

i think the thing that hurts me the most is when people say the meanest things too u u try an forgive them but then they do it too you again i been through that all my life i guess that is the part of life

I ain't smart enough to realize when people are being insulting to me. So, It rarely happens with me. But, when it does, I just tell them that they are short, fat and hairy...that shuts em up.

:)

what's wrong with short and hairy?

You look like Abe Lincoln.

He may have freed the slaves but, I don't think he had alot groupies.

well, I may not free the slaves, but I got a lot of groupies.

That' true. Wasn't sure if you were payng attention. :)

I have been hurt all my 58 years on this earth. I have learned to get over things easy and move on.

I try and surround myself with positive and joyful people, therefore negative and hurtful words shouldn't be a part of happier people's lives. I stay far away from drama!!

A strong mental person, even after getting hurt will search for the reason.

How many of us can claim our selves a man of a word ?

Being alone all the time, sometimes.

I think that maybe the truest statement I have ever read Lex.

Raises hand...

RIGHT HERE BARUN!!!!!!

Just ask me.....I'll tell you all about it. But it is better to just live as a man who is a man of his word.

I think we choose what kind of person to be early in life - and as we mature strengthen that path

the path to hurt or not to hurt


it is a choice - which one you will be
