We find ourselves hurting in life... people disappoint us and if we're honest, it hurts the most when we disappoint ourselves. What is it about emotional pain that leaves us holding onto it, causing ourselves further torture... maybe the pain serves a purpose?... forcing us to look at what's happening within and asking ourselves what the hell we're doing? Are we being true to ourselves? And why do we work so hard at convincing ourselves of things in life?... searching for security, safety, certainty, control, I gather.. and in so doing, we take wrong turns and cause ourselves and others difficulty and confusion... ouch....
All that said, forgiveness may be the only answer... to let ourselves and others off the hook is to remove the shackles of emotional strangulation... we're not perfect, we don't have all the answers and life is messy. Maybe that's the certainty we need to embrace;) Hugs.
