Wounded People . . .

Wounded people, if not nurtured and given the chance to heal, wound other people.

At what point do the wounded ones become the ones who wound?

At what point do we stop asking ourselves how we can help the wounded, and start thinking we must punish them for the wounds that they inflict?

At what point do we decide it’s time to stop helping to heal the wounded? 

At what point do we stop asking ourselves what role we had to play in the wounding?

At what point do we decide we are no longer accountable, in any way?

At what point do we give up?

At what point do we ex-communicate?

At what point do we decide the wounded one has become a throw-away?
