I am not against hurt feelings. I don't see anything wrong with it. But when your hurt feeling flies into a rage, then I have a problem with it. I just saw a video of a teacher beating a student for making a racist comment, and people said that the student deserved it. Let me just tell you that I think that racism is extremely wrong on both sides yes. It doesn't matter if you are white or black. But we should never beat people because they hurt our feelings. There is nothing right about that. The only time we should ever lay our hands on someone is when we are protecting ourselves from danger, and our loved ones from danger. But someone being mean to me or disrespecting me isn't the same as my life being in danger. That teacher went to jail for child abuse and rightfully so. And everyone who said that the kid probably learned his lesson, for he was put in the hospital with miner injuries, may be wrong about that. It sounded like that kid did not like the teacher, and now the teacher would not be able to teach. The kids injuries will heal, but that teacher's life will never be the same. Whether people see it or not that kid overpowered that teacher.
The point that I am making is that when we fly into a rage because our feelings our hurt, we give the other person that hurt our feelings more power. If someone calls me a racist slur, that's okay as long as I am alive. Will it hurt my feeling? Yes. But I can move on and still say God bless you. But people who try to be tough by beating up other people maybe strong physically, but they are weak emotionally.
So what's more important to be strong physically or to be strong emotionally?
