Each new beginning results from
something ending.
Separations.
Break-ups. Showdowns. Desperate but unsuccessful attempts to control people,
situations or events. Whatever. They are all over when you
stop responding to them. They are over when you
decide they are over.
Understand that
whoever caused you pain and agony has accomplished whatever he or she set out
to do. The event is over and out. By spew venom over the episode, by continuing
to direct anger against the person who caused you the hurt, you are only hurting
yourself. Sometimes, it may not be just a hurt from a word or an act that
someone said or did. It may be from a separation that the pain, the grief
ensues. And you want to avenge the person’s audacity to have betrayed your
trust, that too with such impunity. You seek justice. And your entire being is
consumed by this mad urge to get ‘even’. Because you feel used and discarded __
as if you were some tissue paper. The cocktail of hate, anger and grief can be
depressing, debilitating, lethal. Yet there is a way out. You, and only you, can draw a line; and decide not to
continue with stretching this episode and story any more. It is best to
remember that dwelling on what is past__including the prime, good times, of a
relationship, and pining for those times all over again __ is futile.
It is also important to remember that seasons change, people change, relationships change.
Each new beginning results from something ending. So what is over is over. Get up. Dust yourself. Move on. And go on…living…
