Today I was repairing some household items that were broken. I used crazy glue to quickly and easily repair the items. They appeared good as new!
I got to thinking how easy life would be if we could repair our hearts and souls so quickly and easily. When we felt sad or angry, we could easily repair our feelings and be as good as we were before.
But would we really be as good as new? Or would we have lost something because we were not able to process our feelings and grow from that experience.
I believe that even though we may be experiencing sadness, hurt or fear, we gain wisdom and become healthier when we move through our pain rather than turn away from it or send it deep inside to fester. Although it may feel better at that moment, we will gain more by examining, understanding and accepting our feelings.
