Om Swami

Why do the people closest to me hurt me the most?

Only our own people can hurt us

Strangers cannot hurt you. Only your own people can give you grief, because they are the ones you are attached to. So when you feel hurt, ask what you can do to be more compassionate.

If you feel hurt, remember that people will hurt you. Strangers cannot hurt you or cause you grief. Only your own people can give you grief.
