Peoples' feelings are like those eggs in the picture...the eggyolk represents our innemost feelings, the eggwhites serve as the buffer between the internal and external forces, while the shells protect it from being breached.
Eggs are fragile, breakable, and tarnishable. There are times that no matter how hard we try not to hurt other people's feelings, we still end up doing the very thing. Walking on eggshells, as the saying goes. Eggs once broken such as feelings for various reasons,will never be the same again.
Have you ever wondered if you've consciously or unconsciously caused some eggs to be broken? Do you happen to think if you're already surrounded with shells and whites?
How do you mend heartaches? When hurting one's feelings, is it better to do it gently or abandonly? In doing either, would it just be the same as the other?
Suppose I am one of the eggs surrounding you, would you know how not to break me?
It's hard to say. We try our best, but we just can't please everyone. Sometimes even our most innocent actions cause hurt to other people. Whether we like it or not.
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing we can do is to be aware of the things we do or say, and be responsible for their consequences.
We are all human...and we all can be hurt.
Not all of us can be hardboiled eggs. :-)
Cheers Rain. :-)
Yeah, how i wish we didn't have to be hardboiled ones...because it prevents us from feeling the most basic emotions.:-)
ReplyDeletei think it's what's inside that's important, not the shell that covers it.
ReplyDeletepeople are like eggs, in terms of character. there's the sunny side up type of people, there are scrambled , the hard-boiled ones. there's even those double yolks types. and a whole lot more of analogy, i think.
have a good week ahead!
