Whenever you are doing the right thing, you are never truly hurting anybody. Usually we are not doing the right thing, we are just doing everything our way. And that is why we hurt others. It does not matter who they are -- friends, children, parents or spouse -- because if you are doing the right thing according to the Gita, you don't have to worry.

We will see in the Gita that Duryodhana and the Kauravas were not doing the right things and they got hurt. Even after Lord Krishna advised them not to do wrong things, they continued to do them.  They were going to get hurt and they did. So we can't keep people from getting hurt. It is very important to know that it's not up to us to stop others from getting hurt. It is they themselves who have to look at things properly. Keep the Gita as a guide, then you should not have any trouble. The problem is that everyone makes up their own guide instead of turning to the Gita.  We should have one guide: the Gita.
