We Are One: Self-esteem doesn't bleed

We Are One: Self-esteem doesn't bleed
Excerpt:
The height of cruelty reaches its peak by about middle school, around 11 - 13 years old but for some it doesn't diminish in high school.  Teachers can get involved in the name calling and put downs.  Tell an adult - are you kidding me?  Then tragedy hits, suicide, murder, a killing spree.....Oh my what happened that this terrible thing occurred?  Self-esteem doesn't bleed but people still die.
 
Note: All violence begins with 'words' which come from within the heart: our own thoughts.  I once was chosen to teach a class for couples and found a simple, short program that I too could follow.  It's called:
                                                     BLESS
1. Bless each other.
2.  Love each other.
3. Encourage each other.
4. Share with each other.
5.  Support each other.
That is how we are to treat 'everyone' who comes into our lives.  "Love one another as I have loved you."
[cf. Corinthians 13.]  Speak the truth 'in love'.
