Someone once said, “If you never heal from what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you.” In our fast-paced world of imperfect communication, hurt feelings are inevitable in relationships. But how can we break the cycle of pain and avoid inflicting it on others? Let’s explore why it’s essential to stop hurting people who haven’t harmed us and how we can move forward.
1. Recognize the Cycle
Hurt people often hurt others. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we pass on our pain. Acknowledging this pattern is the first step toward breaking it. When we’re wounded, we must resist the urge to lash out at innocent bystanders.
2. Healing Takes Time
Healing is a process. We can’t rush it. Instead of bleeding our pain onto others, we should invest time in self-reflection, therapy, or seeking support. Only by healing ourselves can we avoid perpetuating hurt.
3. Shift Our Interaction
Recognize that we are not our own. Even if we love someone who hurt us, we must shift our interaction. Our Lord tells us to do so. Redirecting our energy away from hurting others allows us to break free from the cycle.

Let’s choose compassion over aggression. By healing ourselves and refusing to bleed on those who didn’t cut us, we can build healthier relationships and foster understanding.
Remember: Hurt people can heal, and healed people can help others. 🌟
