Tonight I've been working through some old hurts. I've been re-living and trying to re-frame some of the emotionally abusive situations I have been in. And, it made me wonder why is it that when some people are feeling lousy about themselves the first thing they do is go looking for someone vulnerable? They will then exercise power and be so abusive and hurtful to the vulnerable person. Other people turn that same feeling inward.
What is it about this action? Why is it that when we hurt we want other people to hurt also, and we so often inflict the hurt? It's not like this really helps us deal with our own hurt. Does misery really love company that much?
