I remember on my way to work yesterday afternoon around 2:30pm I got a notification saying I got an email from someone on an app of mine on my phone. So I opened the app and read the message it was from some female. She is around my age and the message said you should be called bucked tooth beaver because of your teeth lol I replied back saying mmm what makes you say that? Lol I only said lol because some people have well interesting sense of humor and a couple minutes later she replied back saying because of your two front teeth. I just decided to delete it since she was going to be like that, so I did. I was mad of course wanting to tell her horrible things to get back at her, but I didnt. I just said them outload as I was walking to work,since I had to get it out of my system and I cant ignore how I was feeling. So during work I was like in my head I wish I didnt delete the message because I know what I would say to her know. On my lunch I checked my inbox just to see if it was in the sent box, but it was still in my email box so I clicked it and I just put in one word for the reply why? And I sent this to her at 7pm and I got off work at 10 and I checked my email and there was nothing recieved by her, so I deleted the message. I came so close to calling her so many bad names and saying such hurtful things but then I remember something I said once why say such hurtful things to someone? Is it because you are in pain you do this? Just to get revenge? Is this why we say such hurtful things to people who cause is pain, because we feel we need to; and we feel we have a right to? And the answer to that question is no just because we feel a certain way even i.e. anger it doesnt give us the right to throw more pain to there face. I remembered everything I said about it and one quote from the book what the Buddha taught and the chapter was about what people say and what your response should be including if someone is saying something bad about your religion or believes or philosophies anyway the quote said if you dont have anything nice to say, its best to keep it to yourself. Another reason why I responded back to her message saying why is because not many people on this planet know why deep down why they do or say things they just do them without much or any thought at all. So by me asking her just a simple question why she will then turn her view on herself and ask herself that very same question why did I say such a hurtful thing to someone I never even meet or talked to before? I wanted to show her the reason why to show her not only the pain of what I felt, but to let her words in her message sink deep within her mind and to know she was the one responsible for this pain.
