[LadyBecks]

Yes, I'd agree with you

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I agree…

[AviatorTom]

Try punching someone. You may hurt them but your hand will also hurt

[msc545]

It will be more than just your hand; it will ultimately be psychological pain as well.

[Amy10223]

No, I do not. If you for example, hurt someone’s feelings without intending to, then you yourself are not hurt. You can apologize, and then the ball falls on the other side of the other person.
People sometimes take things personally, when you did not intend any kind of negative situation.

[msc545]

It is the "without intending to" part that spares you the injury.

[Amy10223]

Right. This can happen often.

[WhitneySnow]

If you’re a psychopath or a narcissist you can. Otherwise I agree with you.

[msc545]

Even psychopaths and narcissists are harmed by hurting others. It's just that they don't feel it very much right away. It catches up with them.

[WhitneySnow]

Interesting

[goaded]

"It catches up with them"
Yeah, sometimes their graves get demolished when the truth comes out. Woo hoo!

[msc545]

@goaded I think you know that that is not what I'm talking about.

[goaded]

Sorry, I was just reminded of the monster who abused children his whole life in the UK.

[Screenwriter]

If you're seeking revenge or to damage someone else, the wisdom is to dig your grave first! I think that rings true.

[MrChinaski]

Yes. I carry with me forever the hurt I cause to others. Sometimes that hurt is necessary, though.

[OneViewpoint]

That would depend upon who you are and the circumstances. Are there instances where I can dish out hurt and feel zero remorse? Yes.

[msc545]

Eventually you will feel a great deal of remorse.

[OneViewpoint]

Not so much. Trust me on this.

[RandomGirl42]

Karma

[Iron_Man]

People that hurt Others are already hurt so they lash out

[Anonymous]

Eventually, but karma works slowly, sometimes it strikes in the next life.

Sometimes it really feels too long to wait... for certain, very evil individuals.

[Anonymous]

So if someone punches you in the stomach or in the head that would hurt you not the person punching you

[msc545]

That kind of behavior will ultimately hurt the person who did it.

[LC75LC71]

Not at all. Source: Those that have tried to hurt me.

[CherryLove007]

yep. that concludes the conversation.

[thegreenyogi]

Of course, that's a given.

[NathanDavis]

I definitely agree

[SieghardWalsung]

Nope

[Zionne]

yes exactly

[ponderingpaul]

Yes completely agree

[Slim57]

Not really
