Change You. Change the World.

(UR)ACTIONS=PEACE
Why do people who say they love us, hurt us? In the past, my first response to this question would have been "because I did something wrong". But this is a little girls response.

In an adult relationship this answer can't apply. As adults, we lose the right to treat each other like children and punish or retaliate. Not that it makes a difference to some, as it seems as if this type of behavior is becoming epidemic.

It seems many people are able to express maturity in business and in there "thinking" lives, but bring the attention to emotional issues and they fall apart. I know, I have had my own learning curve to summit.

Western society, with its material focus, "land of, I want what I want when I want it" mentality has much responsibility for creating a society full of emotionally under-developed people. Not only does it make it difficult to have a healthy relationship; but it is my opinion, emotional under-development plays a big role in our crime and poverty problems as well.

In the end, it is up to each one of us to take our lives and happiness into our hands and seek out ways to teach ourselves how to feel and process our own emotions. As we do this, the world becomes a much happier and peaceful place to live.
