One of the bigger truths of life…that I heard for the first time in an Art-of-Living course, and have kept with me. It is the truth that the more you resist something/someone, the more it persists. The only way is to stop resisting it…it stops persisting. So simple…
Doesn’t quite work though. As mortals, it is in human nature to keep thinking of the past, more so of events that were not good rather than the good ones, more of the sad events than the happy ones. We say that we have left our past behind, but we never truly do. There are those moments that keep coming back. Those people whom we can never forget. The betrayals that we can never get over. Life moves on, but do we allow it to?
Many would say that time is the biggest healer of all. I don;t think so. Time may heal the wounds, but what about the scars? Everytime you look at the scars, the pain comes back..and hits you the hardest when you least expect it to.
Which brings me back to the title of this post….stop looking at the scars, they say. There is no point in thinking of the hurt that is now past.
But isn’t it our past that shapes our future? Don;t the mistakes of our past become lessons for the future?
Stop resisting…my mind says…
but alas, the heart is deaf…
and dumb, and blind….
it only feels….sorrow n pain….anger n hurt….
and on those lucky days…some happiness…some smiles….
it wants to see light..but alas … it doesn;t wish to realize…
it is forever blind!!
Wish you more such lucky days ahead…such that the blindness dissapears gradyally..But ya then it requires ur cooperation with ur heart!
