Humans are fragile, and we should be empathetic about others feelings.
"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel" - Carol Buchner, Maya Angelou, and others.
Let me use the analogy of scratches on a car. It hurts when we find a new scratch and it may leave us feeling a bit bitter inside. The scratches and scuffs don't disappear, but the car remains usable, and we move on.
Similarly, most of us may have emotional scars we may not be aware of.
Sometimes, we hurt others unintentionally. Therefore, it's our responsibility to ensure we avoid causing harm. We just need to be mindful of our words and actions.
I recently read somewhere - If this were the last time you spoke with someone, how would you speak?
I don't mean that we should be trapped in fear while talking to people. I'm suggesting that we be more thoughtful and kind.
Be thankful for every moment you have with people around you. And above all - Love Unconditionally!
Very thoughtful article!
