Being cruel
It is important we are open with ourselves about our experiences and vulnerabilities. When we work on acceptance, we avoid being cruel to others.
When we feel mentally or emotionally hurt, we will back off and may start to live a life in denial on the facts, which means running away from our truth. It is only through us being open and honest that our own emotional needs can be met and we can heal.
When we’re in denial of the facts, we will also fail to cope with those who remind us of it. Each experience we have, is etched in our psyche and unconscious, stored as a memory. If our experiences are good that’s fine, but if our experiences are attached to abuse, rejection or neglect, those memories can start to play out in a way others will regard as being cruel.
Instead, we must aim to understand a person’s reasoning, and ask ourselves why they would choose to behave in such a way. Once we understand another person’s reasoning and behaviour, we will make more informed choices on how we tackle what we know.
Regardless of our circumstances, or experiences, there is no excuse for being cruel. Without it, the world would look and feel different.
