Hurt people hurt other people. There are a lot of hurt, angry people doing destructive things to themselves and others — and I used to be one of them. Now I do no intentional harm to myself or anyone else. The difference was love and understanding which was given to me and I now pass it along whenever I have a chance. I surround myself with what I was given knowing that I could be a part of that love by giving it away, freely. In my past people have tried to modify my behavior with rules and regulations. I have also been punished. Those actions though well intentioned and necessary at times, did not address the hurt. Love did.
