IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

No Defense.

I believe the worst thing I can do is hurt someone - plain and simple - hurt anyone in any way. Hurt physically, mentally or emotionally.  In my life I have hurt so many people.  I would like to believe that it was never intentional, but I'm sure in many cases it was.  My memories are inaccurate, but I do remember many cases of feeling guilty because I had hurt someone.  I always believed it was permissible to hurt someone in self-defense.  I still believe that, but only in the case of physical hurt.  I have caused emotional harm in others in order to protect my own emotions.  Now I see myself as emotionally mature enough that causing emotional pain to someone else can never protect my own emotions.  It can only hurt me - hurt me disproportionaly to the hurt Iv'e caused.

The use of emotional attack in emotional self-defense is a phenomenon that I feel would be fascinating to investigate.
