[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654779, member: 18958"] Cedar, I never thought about it this way. When people hurt me, I think that they think they are justified in doing so because of the stories they tell themselves about us and themselves. For example, when my boss who I was devoted to, fired me, because co- workers thought we were having an affair. He said he was firing me because I was old and could not catch on to computers (hahaha.) Not true, I tell you. I thought he believed he was right. I could never in a million years believe that he could do such a thing AND BELIEVE AND KNOW HE WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG. After all, he is very devout. (Smile.) I have a hard time accepting that my sister hates me. After all, my Mother said my sister loved me. (Another Smile. The smile machine is not working now.) Does my sister consciously hate me? I mean is HATE written in her mind's eye? Or is it something more like, "I will protect myself against her and I will never allow her to hurt me. I am justified in doing anything to rectify (read avenge) the hurt she has caused me." Cedar, I thank you. There is so much of yourself that you have shared with me. I will do my best to put it to good use. [/QUOTE]
