Never hurt people. When you hurt them it actually hurts a lot. It pains a lot when it pains. Their heart cries and eyes get wet. May be they are good enough in hiding and would cry silently. But when you hurt people it leaves a permanent impression in their heart. Like when a cloth is torn even if you stitch it back, scar would still be there. Similarly, even if you apologize the damage has already been done. Even if the heart would heal, the scar would remain as a souvenir reminding that it had hurt sometime. After that whatever best you try you cannot bring it back to original.
Sometimes, we have to take some steps which we do not want or which may hurt someone unintentionally like when our parents punish us, our teachers punishes us, like when you stop your sister from going out after dark or you ask her to report at home before dark or you may apprehend someone to stop him from something bad. These are intentional but temporary hurt. However, sometimes it is unintentional like you wanted to help someone but ended up hurting. I remember when I was very young may be 5-6 years old, I was trying to help my cousin in his homework , I do not remember exactly, however he had Ps and 4s written upside down because of which teacher had punished him. He later on said that I had taught him like this. I did not have any intention of hurting him, however, he was hurt because of me. So sometimes you may end up hurting people unintentionally too.
However, worst is when you hurt people deliberately. Can’t relate to it? Have you ever snapped at people because you were angry at something else? Have you ever tried taking credit of someone else’s work? Have you tried getting your work done against someone else’s wish? Have you ever lied to someone? Have you ever hidden something from your partner? Have you ever done something under covers which you know would hurt in open? Have you bullied some one in school? Have you screamed at your servants? Have you over burdened your team with work and yourself sipped the coffee? Have you borrowed money and not returned? Have you stopped talking to a friend after you borrowed money? Have you astrayed someone ever in life? Have you passed bad comments on someone? There would be so many questions like this, but if answer to any of the question is yes, then you have actually hurt someone somewhere deliberately. These are very small things which we do not bother but when we do, it hurts someone a lot. You do not need a knife to hurt someone, just a little effortless effort is enough. Mostly when it is a deliberate attempt it is conducted to hurt only, please do not do that. It pains a lot when it is paining.
Do not hurt people, it will hurt them and they will see this in others too. I remember a case, a teacher had hurt a student and he was afraid of all the teachers in the school. He could never take out this fear from his heart that all teachers are not bad and he tried escaping from school too once. I understand sometimes teachers punish you for your benefit but an extreme corporal punishment is not commendable for small kids. Just because one teacher had hurt him he thought all would. When you hurt, it hurts everyone, it hurts you, it hurts a child, it hurts an adult, it hurts an old person, it hurts a woman, it hurts a man, it hurts a rich, it hurts a poor, it hurts your boss, it hurts your team, it hurts your kids, it hurts your wife. Actually when you hurt, it actually would hurt anyone or everyone and it would be engraved in the heart forever. Whether people can recollect good experiences or not but bad ones they always keep afresh.
