Not in weakness — but in wisdom.

 

Sandra Bullock once said:

“There are moments when I feel the urge to respond.

To give back every insult.

To return every harsh look, every cruel word.

But then — I stop.

I watch.

I see more than anger.

I see pain.

I see stories behind their eyes.

Silent struggles I’ll never fully know.

And I realize —

Life has already been hard on them.

The world has punished them in ways I don’t need to.

Not every battle needs words.

Some are best met with stillness.

Because people give what they carry.

And if they carry hurt — they’ll hand out hurt.

But I don’t have to take it.

I don’t have to pass it on.

I choose not to echo their pain.

I choose not to become what wounded them.

I move on.

Not in weakness — but in wisdom.

Don’t reflect someone else’s shadow.

Be the window where your light shines through.
