Consequence of Pain

I sit quietly letting my tears flow. There is much pain I feel with the hatred and the aversion that comes my way. The question 'what have I done to deserve this?' is on top of my head as I wallow in self-pity. I bring my awareness to the constriction in my chest. Slowly I breathe oxygen into the pain. I realise that I must have caused this pain to someone somewhere sometime. I realise that I shall become more aware that my actions do not cause such pain in another being. I surrender this intention as I travel along.
