My dad has always said I am a bit of an emotional lightning rod. I tend to bring people's emotions to the surface of a situation. This can be a really double edged sword. People are often genuine with me, I can ask any question and get away with it (both the quesiton and getting an answer), but I also often cause people to react very emotionally. This happened again about six months ago and I have been spending a lot of time dealing with and considering my role in people's lives. How I affect others and bring about events. It can be very humbling and it is also terrifying.
I recently read The Five People You Meet In Heaven. It had a similar point. How we touch others' lives and often are completely unaware. Yet so much of our life is effected by others and we are often not aware until later how that influence was manifest.
This is all a huge amount of mumbo jumbo to the point that,
Be careful what you say and do to others. You don't know where they are in their journey at any given time, sometimes they don't even know, and you can hurt them or help them by your actions and reactions. Maybe the results don't matter to you, but some days they do.
