Life Patterns
I was once told that everything we do is a learned behavior whether we realize it or not. We pick up behavior patterns from our family, friends, and the people we spend the most time with. Our environment has a great impact on our lives and the decisions we make. It shapes and mold us into the unique person we are today. I can honestly say my family and past friends have shaped a lot of my behavior......consciously and unconsciously. But.....what about hurt behavior patterns? Can we be taught how to hurt people?

I personally believe hurt and pain can be a learned behavior. I also believe it can be unlearned if you decide to spread more positive energy. The cliché "Hurt people hurt people" has so much truth to it that it explains why so many people around us are hurting others. Some people have been hurt so bad that it literally damages them psychologically, and causes them to feel like their alone. Sometimes the pain can also cause them to feel powerless. These feelings can make one hurt others to gain company and to gain back that power they felt they've lost. NOBODY is brought into this world wanting to hurt others.......learned behavior.
Most of the hurt we feel in my opinion is brought upon us by our own family members in our childhood, which is usually how hurt and pain is past down. When you're dealing with family members who have been hurt without forgiving, then that leads to dysfunction and separation. Not only do you hurt your own family, but you hurt yourself in the process. No matter how hard you try to gain happiness from bringing misery to others it will only lead you to a tremendous amount of pain.
Always keep in mind that no matter how deeply you've been wounded the universe will still have to give back what you put out. Change your hurtful behavior and realize you're bigger than the pain. Good karma comes to those who put out positive energy, and who does good towards others. Change your negative behavioral pattern, so that you can make room for good things to happen in your life. Be the first in your environment to find positive ways to channel your anger and negative thoughts. Learn from the storm you've walked through and make it all work for your better future. Remember when your changing mentally and spiritually it takes time. It also takes a lot of stretching mentally to get to that place. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!!!! BE POSITIVE!!!! REMEMBER TO LOVE!!!
