Everybody Hurts

Is someone hurting because of something you said or did?

Whether you feel you did anything wrong or not,
whether you think they should feel hurt or not,
their pain is real.
Your not wanting it to be real will not make it so.

Do you see your need to feel justified in your actions as more important than the one whom you hurt?

Examine your heart, your motivations. Whatever it takes, make it right.


And if you're one who has been hurt, be ready to forgive.
Don't hold a grudge - that does nobody any good.

Remember, if we won't forgive others, God will not forgive us.

If I've hurt you - please tell me.
Soon.
We don't know how much time we have to make things right.






When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

    Sometimes a song says it all, doesn't it?

    I remember listening to R.E.M. and really liking their music.
    How are you doing?
    I love you!
