“Words hurt,” it is often said, but they only hurt because we have been conditioned to live by the opinions of others. Do you see? What is beyond human ego is never disturbed, offended, hurt, or angered by what other egos think or say. Hurtful words are egoic and can only hurt another ego, which is not what YOU are. In other words, only egos- that is, your ego care about the thoughts expressed by others. “Words hurt,” but only because you (your ego) think they mean something. Take what you think out of the words you hear; words ring in your ears because your ears are ringing. The ringing stops when your thinking stops, and the clash of egos is nothing more than the folly of humans making something real out of nothing.
