The phrase “Hurt people hurt people”

suggests that those who are in pain internally
may end up causing pain to others around them.

But is it necessary for us to perpetuate this cycle of hurt?

We must ask ourselves, “When will it stop with me?”
If we don’t halt the cycle,
the pain we inflict can ripple outwards,
causing a boomerang effect of suffering.

This cycle is a significant reason for the world’s current state,
with hurt individuals continuing to wound others.

Rather than perpetuating hurt,
we have the power to choose healing
and to bless others instead.
It’s a universal principle that what we put
out into the world comes back to us.

Each one of us plays a role in making the world a better place.

It’s not to excuse any abuser,
but perhaps they haven’t processed their trauma,
which might be why they continue to inflict pain on others.
Their actions have impacted you and potentially countless others.

The saying goes, “Hurt people hurt people,”
but you don’t have to let the cycle continue.
Even if you choose not to harm others because of what you’ve endured,
you still deserve to heal and live a fulfilling life.
The cycle can stop with you.

Consider speaking to someone today,
someone who can offer support.
Reach out to a healthcare provider
and begin the journey of healing.
