There are not many guarantees. But what we can know for certain is that we will feel some hurt and do some hurting.
Of course I have felt hurts.
Harder to accept is that
I will do some hurting.
And not just the restorative sort,
Such as discipline or truth telling.
That, after all, is hardly hurting.
No. There are times when I hurt others.
Misunderstanding. Thoughtlessness.
At times, even, retaliation.
I loathe this guarantee.
