HURTING  ANOTHER



Quote for Today  May 22, 2011


"To kill a human being is, after all, the least injury you can do him."


Henry James [1943-1916]  Complete Tales (1962), Vol. 1, "My Friend Bingham" (1867 short story).

Questions:

What has been the greatest affront you've experienced?

Was the hurt deliberate?

Have you forgiven the person?

Did you talk to the person about what happened?

The tongue is metaphored as a sword or pen at times. Have you ever stabbed a person with a comment you made - or have you ever written a letter that really hurt another?
