Everybody hurts was a way to show we are all in this together whether we like it or not. Life takes its toll on all of us. What happens to us is only 20% of the issue ......... how we RESPOND to what happens covers the 80% remaining.
Words hurt. Words said in anger,frustration,vengeance,spite,jealousy,fear and pain. The old saying *sticks and stones may hurt my bones but words will never hurt me* was said by a sociopath who has no feelings lol. Ask the family of the girl who committed suicide because she was bullied on facebook by girls from her school. Ask anyone who has been verbally abused and can do nothing about it because they have no power or ability to do so. Ask yourself what hurts YOU more- being punched slapped hit or being beaten down with insults slander gossip lies and hateful words???
Words heal. When a friend who yu have had a falling out with apologizes and asks forgiveness. When a loved one tells you how important you are to them. When a teacher praises your work in class. When the girl or guy you like just say HI lol Words of love,affection,care,happiness,acceptance,empathy and encouragement HEAL.
Wil you choose to hurt or heal :D
