People can be cruel, it’s not always because they are just evil…it could be because the same was done to them, or they hate their lives and want others to feel their pain. Whatever the reason it still effects us all when we become the object of their cruelty.
This is not a black or white issue, it’s a human being issue, all are effected! And if we don’t love ourselves we (the objects of this Cruelty) are subject to do something harmful to ourselves (Suicide, Drug Overdose, etc.) or to someone else (Violence).
You see, if I love me, what others think of me will have no real effect. If I were Fat and someone called me every fat name, and used every fat joke they could to describe me I’d be able to laugh them myself, why? Because if I love “Me”, that means I love my fatness too. Look at Lizzo, she loves herself and that love of herself is making her rich. Being fat, skinny, white, black, old poor, pimple faced…you name it, is what people use to make you feel less than…you are far more than someone’s cruel words. You are not a mistake!! You were created by a GOD who loves you!
Too many people take their own lives because of cruel words projected at them from classmates, coworkers, strangers and even family members. If you can’t learn to love yourself and laugh at those who laugh at you, you may be tempted to follow those that have given up on living.
I say to you, You are “Worth Something”, You ha a “Purpose” in this life, You have something to offer this world and the people in it! If you need help there are Help Lines you can call, churches you cango to and speak to the Pastors and Elders of the church (maybe those churches have Youth Groups, people your age, if you’re young). Don’t cry out in the darkness all alone, that creates Depression which only make things feel and seem so much worse! Instead of being a “Statistic” of cruelty (loneliness and depression), become a “Statement” of what Loving Yourself and Others can be! Let your Light shine so others can see YOU!
