because I was almost punishing them for what old people did in my life, like people from my past.
podcast-host
And it was me acknowledging old pain, but kind of like projecting it on to new people.
podcast-host
And I think that's actually one of the first ways that hardness like really can develop in a person.
podcast-host
And then that's how it was developing in me.
podcast-host
Someone betrays you, so the next person has to overcome a crime that they did not commit.
podcast-host
You've now learned that someone was capable of lying to you.
podcast-host
And so now everyone starts from a position of presumed guilt.
podcast-host
And that is obviously understandable self-protection.
podcast-host
But eventually the walls that keep pain out can also keep love out.
podcast-host
And so I think a practice that we could say to ourselves in those moments, like if you are now approaching a situation with somebody where you're like, okay, I've been here before with somebody else and they deeply hurt me and betrayed me and showed me that they were not a trustworthy person at all.
podcast-host
And so instead of putting this new person in jail for something that that person had done, I think it's being able to say in that moment, what happened to me taught me wisdom and
podcast-host
I learned from that.
podcast-host
I got burned.
podcast-host
And so there's wisdom to take from that experience, but it doesn't get to teach me cynicism.
podcast-host
And being discerning actually is accepting some risk.
podcast-host
I think allowing any kind of access of somebody coming into your life, being discerning is also saying, yeah, and you know what?
podcast-host
I recognize that there is a risk here.
podcast-host
In being hurt again.
podcast-host
There is no discernment strategy that can guarantee nobody will ever hurt you.
podcast-host
We are absolutely going to be talking about that on Friday.
