>>11423490Holy Moley. That Johnny Cash song is quite sad.
But, I understand it completely.
"I will make you hurt"... doesn't need to be as devastating as his experience alludes to.
People can be resilient despite auras and instances of pain--as long as those on the receiving end understand they're really *not* the intended target. They just happen to be conveniently there when the pain comes.
That last sentence is most important, because it holds the key.

I know this well. It took me a number of decades to learn how to understand it without consequence, actually being able to find comfort from knowing where it emanates from.
There's a saying: I feel your pain. It's underrated.
While it might sound as if 'comfort' is not the best word, it does have its bearing...because fully understood and implemented, it emanates back to the giver and only affords smiles for both in its receiving.
>Explaining this in text is a much more difficult -and faulty- task, than speaking it in words, or, silence.>Apologies for all of this, but the song hit a nerve.I've looked into those eyes. I've heard those words. I've lived many of those examples. But you know what: just as I've described, 'the hurt' becomes inconsequential, because it was only emotions that needed an outlet. Desperately.
>Being an outlet can be a blessing in disguise.I will stop now, but, because I Know, I had to say something.
It doesn't have to be that way. Ever. Light just needs its chance to break through.
