Why is hurting a vicious circle?
No one in the World wants to be hurt. Logically you would think that because people do not want to be hurt they would in turn choose not to hurt. But the whole world is broken because people continue to hurt each other. But why?
Jesus says in Matthew 18:22 that we should forgive each other 7 times 70, which literally means infinitely. It is because Jesus noted that many people had it rough at childhood. They were socialized to hurt.
Some were r***d, some physically and emotionally abused. So all people know hurting because they were taught to hurt through their own experiences.
Proverbs 4: 23 says, "Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life."
When you are a child you cannot guard your heart, infact your heart is at the messy of the world. They literally deposit all sorts of Bitterness, anger, hurt, envy, feeling of in adequacy, hollowness and so on. These are the things people grow up with. At the same time the world is expecting one to love, have peace, have joy, patience, self control yet what is inside the hearts of many is exactly the opposite. One cannot give out what is not in your heart. That is why forgiveness is so important. We are being hurt by the hurted and the hurted naturally become the hurters. So hurting is outside of the control of many, because this was instilled at childhood and has become their behavior and personality.
There is need for the vicious circle of hurting to be broken. To break it, you need a miracle of salvation. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
