Glimmer: Harshest Words in Second Person

What are people thinking? Does it bother you that sometimes people may be thinking one thing, but saying another? There are times in my life where I have felt betrayed beyond measure, because people are plastic.

Nevertheless, I always feel I should give people the benefit of the doubt feeling that people are inherently good with the intention to do good. But, being good can also be a bad thing especially when thoughts don't correlate with action. How?

Ever heard of the saying that good intentions pave the way to hell? People may be doing good, but due to their actions or words they may be betraying you with the intent to do harm. Over the years, I have noticed that people, and not yourself, can be the greatest threat to your personal growth; because people influence our thoughts and actions.

In fact, I have recently read this quote while working around the place I work. The quote goes like this: "Success isn't dependent upon your choices, but the choices of others. It is through the help of others that we succeed that can change the variable of everything".

We are congratulated to succeed by other people, but we often forget if it weren't for the other people in our life we would NEVER succeed i.e. college diploma is achieved with the help of professors. Hypocritically, there are some teachers that I have had distaste even though my actions and words were different in front of them. I am just as guilty as showing good, but still paving my way towards hell by thinking something completely different.

These have been my thoughts these past two weeks, and without further ado here is "Harshest Words in Second Person":


"The harshest words are never spoken. You don't express feelings of negativity, anger, frustration and guilt leaving people to their assumptions.

"You think you're doing them a service by not stating what you're feeling and thinking.

"You think that you're doing what is best by not saying a sound. But, you're leaving them to their assumptions and judgment over things people will never understand.

"You don't think of repercussions because the paradigm you see is that moment - nothing else. In that moment, you're trying to protect yourself, YOURSELF, from being hurt. Selfish may be? But, that person is also thinking the same thing.

"Thoughts lead to emotion. Emotion leads to suffering. Suffering leads to negative action. A road you didn't see because you lived in that moment.

"You're blinded by selfishness. Greed. Your protection.

"Protection of the harshest words. Words left unspoken."
