They say once burnt twice shy – this is a good thing when it comes to a hot stove, but a very bad thing when it comes to people! for when we get burnt – our trust, our heart – and we become twice shy! we tend to look at the world through a very skeptical

skeptical and often highly critical lens! the net result being, that we refuse to engage with people and often (out of jealousy) we often become malicious, hence, all the cruel jokes people play on others (an expression of their hate, not love!) so the answer is, as follows, better to not say, “well I fell once while walking, so I will never walk again,” rather say, “next time I will be a little more careful” and the fact is, that once burnt twice shy! so however you cut it, if you did feel resentment, you will automatically be somewhat skeptical, which is not a bad thing as long as you are not critical! for another person’s evil, could, just as easily be yours, if you lived in their shoes!
