As we go through this life experiencing and living it, we often forget that life is too short. It’s too short to dwell on petty things in ones life. I’m guilty too of this and sometimes allow myself to be almost consume of others deeds, hence shorten my own life of things that should really matter. I speak of things in the “real world” and in a chat site. But with a chat site one should try to remember the same things. Let us not forget that sitting behind that computer screen is a real living person that breathes and bleeds just like ourselves. That once words are put out there either by typing in a room or posted on its boards or verbally said to another they cause pain, etc. Alot of times words can be more hurting and deadly then an actual blow (Hitting) of another human. Pain from a physical hit will eventually heal, but with a word or words that have escaped our mouths or fingers, they can never really be taken back fully. That thought or group of words alot of times constantly play over and over in ones mind. Even if the person does not want it too. In short, words hurt longer then anything else we can do to another alot of times. Just some thoughts people. I’m sure I will have some here that will have something negative to say about what I have posted. But I felt compelled to voice my opinion on the matter. DO what you want with it. It’s your choice.

24 May, 2009 at 12:57 pm #397541Inflicting pain physically is wrong of course except maybe in extreme cases such as self defence.
Unfounded verbal assaults on the internet are hardly much better and I’d say both leave the same mental scars.But then I often see that third option:
– that of threatening physical assault or constantly mentioning some other unjustified act of violence on a message board –
…………….which is of course less harmful and incredibly silly.
