Why do people hurt?

Why? Is it because it's natural? Is it because we want to? Is it because we don't want to forget?

Maybe it's because the mixture of everything (different proportion for different people). Or maybe we crave for some attention. Or maybe people just do it for the greater good (even if it means hurting the ones they love the most). One thing is for sure; we don't deserve it if we don't deserve it. I know that is something even Captain Obvious dread to say.

But perhaps people hurt because they care for us. They want what it's best for us and we hate it that they are always right. Though somethings are unintentional, we still feel the occasion pangs and pains. However, we should understand that they could be feeling the effects more than us. Even Sigmund Freud would be proud I incorporate Newton's 3rd Law here - Every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction.

Another one more of the plethora of reasons could probably be the fact that people hurt because they only intend to protect someone else they equally love. We shouldn't just succumb to our blind judgment without gathering the facts first. When the dust of war settles, we might just regret our hasty moves. When we are inclined to think irrationally, we let our emotions cloud our thinking and get the better us.

Some people even go the distance to announce to the whole world why they hurt. Maybe they do it for the heck to annoy us. Maybe they are just plain thoughtless, bored and immature. Or maybe it's just an act of revenge - to teach us a lesson by taking the law into their own hands; for the incy bitsy crimes we committed. Or perhaps...just maybe we treat them too well...and well...some people aren't used to that. And they know they don't deserve it (for things they have done); so they just want us to hate them back so badly (kinda like Sawyer from Lost).

Food for thought though; mistakes are usually caused by the gravest of unfortunate miscalculations. Integers might be wrongly used, extra zeros might be accidentally inputted; but we shouldn't just react by accusing the accountant for purposely perpetrating those errors. Just forget and forgive them. We should come to a realisation that they come across with numbers everyday, day in day out! Don't just condemn or demean them. They have feelings and dignity too! Help them out; listen to what they have to say; you might just find out something about them you had not know before...

So people! Control the Hulk in you ;) Do what Bruce Banner did in the end =)
Btw...the movie was good! Hulk Destroy!
