Guilt- Let us not be the reason for someone’s
guilt.
Sometimes, we find
ourselves in situations where conflicts arise, which become impossible to
resolve when both parties insist on proving each other wrong. In such cases, we
may make the other person feel guilty and continue to pile on words to
intensify that guilt. If the person is mentally strong, they might not take it
personally. However, if the person is vulnerable, this guilt can weigh heavily
on them, making them feel weaker and leading to self-loathing the more they
dwell on it. The key point is that communicating with others is like building a
bridge, not a wall. Our words should comfort, motivate, and assist people in
correcting their mistakes, never make them feel guilty.
Ask
yourself the following questions:
·
How did
you feel when you were overwhelmed with guilt?
·
How
long did that feel last?
·
How did
it affect your daily life?
·
Did you
feel open to meeting the person again?
Sometimes, we need
to consider these questions before inflicting guilt upon someone. Only then
will we realize the impact our words can have on others.
There's
already enough mental stress and illness in the world. Let's not contribute to
someone's mental anguish by making them feel guilty.
