Today I Don't Feel Pretty

“Whatever is hurtful to you, do not do to any other person.”

For a person to be able to inflict emotional and mental afflictions to another person, he/she would need a heart void of emotions and a lack of empathy and sympathy. To acquire a heart that is void of said factors, one would probably need to go through immense emotional and mental afflictions.

So how do we get out of this vicious cycle then?
