Does time really heal ?

Time heals everything…

Does it? Is it true that as life moves on, so do we? Do we ever let go of our past and look forward to the future?
I say no. We never let go. We always cling to our past, keeping it close to our hearts. Very few people actually plan for the future. Most of us just live for today along with the memories from our past.

It might sound very logical when someone says that wounds heal with time. But is it applicable only for the physical wounds or mental hurt as well? I say none. Not all scars show and not all wounds heal – be it physical or mental. Nobody can actually feel your pain. Putting yourself and actually “being” in someone’s shoes are two entirely different things. Even if somebody actually goes through a similar phase, the suffering differs from person to person.

You see this world is cruel. Even the nicest people are scumbags. Why? Say for example a person’s dad dies. Now people will go to that person and express their condolences. This won’t actually make that person feel any better. Its just a bloody social formality I say. The person might be too shocked to cry at that time. But if he starts crying, say after a month or so, people react to it by saying that its just an attention seeking and sympathy gaining gimmick.

You break up with your sweetheart. All you hear from the people is that whatever happens, happens for the best. You find a new person. You start a new life. But somewhere, sometime, you pause and think… could it have been different? Why didn’t it work out between us?

When you reach a so-called dead-end, you turn and find a new path. But there’s always an urge to either scale the wall or simply bring it down. There’s always an urge to see what actually lies on that path. Even if we choose a different direction, that dead-end becomes the focus of our attention for a long long time.

You never forget a person or a thing. Your mind is not a Hard Disk Drive… you cannot hard format it. Everthing leaves its impression on those bumps in our brain. These scars, these impressions are not physically visible. But as soon as you close your eyes, you form a clear, crisp and precise image. You relive the whole incident day after day after day. The more you try to erase the picture from your head, the bigger and bolder the image becomes. You fight a losing battle.

Time heals nothing, it just eases the pain. Time simply provides distractions. But sooner or later, the wound breaks open again. This time the wound might not appear big but it defnitely hurts more!! Memories don’t fade away. They come back to haunt you.

    “You see this world is cruel. Even the nicest people are scumbags.”
    i knw the world is cruel, but it all depends hw a person looks at it. if i wanna see this world as a cruel place – fine, but u either live it ur way fighting like a survivor, or sit bak n relive ur memories that hurt u. hw can u let ur own memories hurt u??? u need to face them and make ‘em a part of u instead…u need to be strong enough to stand up and say, “fine! that happened but its okay….life moves on”
    “a person’s dad dies” and later world sez its attention seeking to cry……:sad:since wen did ppl becom so important that wat they say is the most appropriate. they wud call u names, they wud doubt u and ur potentials even wen u’v done enough to prove urself…..their opinions and sayings, dnt matter, and actually they shudnt matter at all !!!!
    everything leaves an impression, but its u who decides to remember it as a scar or an experience to remind u of a mistake or a phase in ur life…. :cool:

    everything heals and i believe that there is a point in everyones life wen life cums full circle…..but until then dnt live ur life waiting 4 dat moment, live it 4 the spirit of life…..!!!!!!:lol::lol::lol:

    hi… so i dont know if i’m in a place i’m not supposed to be, meant only for a certain group of people or what ?! so sorry if i’m intruding..i have no clue what the hell i’m even doing here.. just stumbled upon it while googling something…. anyways cudnt leave without typin somethin…
    so u think memoried dont fade away.. they come back to haunt you… well true! but i dont think thats a bad thing u knw… cos attched with the bad memories are the good ones too… nd like someone said it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all (and this isnt specific to just love).. sure the pain will be there, but i bet no one wud wanna give bak the good moments in life for anything!! atleast i know i wudnt! so to answer the question does time really heal? well i really dont know if it heals… but it just gives an oppurtunity to create new memories which if u r lucky will replace the old ones! some people i’m guessing wud call that ‘healing’ :smile:

    nice diary.. its makin me want to have one too… :wink:
