Yesterday on my blog I wrote about people hurting each other and realised I left out a whole section of things that brought about me asking this question. 

The horrible internet troll ThatGirlTyson had to contend with in regard to her vlog about her dad.  I mean seriously...

Then there are of course the larger, most horrid things in the world which overshadow my little sensitivity.  War, terrorism, child molestation, female circumcision, rape, murder and violent assault to name a few.  Oh and then there is road rage.  I don’t think I should even start about the awful things people do to one another because they are cut off in traffic.

What motivates people to do the smallest of hurtful things to the largest of despicable things? I guess I will never understand. 

Perhaps it is ying and yang.  Good with bad.  Something positive happens and the karma is all great until the other side of the coin flips over.  Life pulling you in for a comforting hug and then slapping you in the face with the other hand.  Unfair things happen to good people all the time, yet nasty people... not so much.  That is why prisons are full and innocent children die.  Maybe it is the good people who feel it, who suffer the most.  Envy and nastiness will only destroy the person who carries it and then spreads it around.  What goes around comes around.  But does it?

So from my Terrible Tuesday last week to this Tuesday I’ve seen the ying and yang.  I’ve had the most exciting thing happen to me but with it came a price.  One which had me questioning whether I could or should go on.  Delete my files and cut my loses.  BUT I remember how lucky I am.  I have a family who love me.  Two beautiful children and friends I cherish.  I have a roof over my head and I have not had to suffer through earthquakes like our dear Beegirl in Christchurch. 

I just wish more people would think about the consequences of their actions before they do them and consider exactly how they would feel if the roles were reversed.
