Do you know that it makes some people feel good to make other people
feel bad?  This stems from when they were
hurt by another’s actions earlier in their lives and felt powerless.  They continue to carry this powerless feeling
within, and so, in an effort to not feel so powerless, they hurl insults and
pain at another.  In so doing, the ego
says, “Look at me!  I can do unto
another that which was done unto me!” 
And thus they have learned the opposite of love, yet to them it feels
loving, for it is protecting the ego.  

 
Feel compassion for those who have been so wounded that they hurl
spears instead of kindness.  Their
actions and their words speak volumes about the pain they feel inside.  Their poison-laced barbs cannot hurt you when
the shield with which you surround yourself is strong and fortified with the
knowledge that insults carry no power. 
Do you know the truth of who you are? 
Cloak yourself in that mesh of loving energy and no barb, no matter how
vile, will penetrate it.  The heart is
far mightier than the sword.  We speak now
of the heart of the spirit, which will never succumb to any of ego’s pitiful
weapons.  Stand strong in your awareness
of who and what you are and what you stand for. 
Love never fails.
