Self-Destructive

People find it easier to live amidst past memories. Strange because it is like a pool of a lot of stagnant water of a lot of negative emotions, hurts and anger, all of which are self-consuming and self-destructive.

Why? It is a known territory even if people have to relive suffering! More so when there are negative emotions attached to those memories which smoulder within. How does one forget?

Letting go is difficult also because what is yet to come is unknown. And there is fear of the unknown.

We have a tendency to hold on to crutches which are obviously temporary. When WE are temporary in this world, how can we think anything can be permanent?

A journey is like a flow of events which we must experience as observers only. That is the best training we can give ourselves. The universe is working systematically and with a beautiful flow. We don’t even notice. We only lament about ourselves and what we got/ did not get, deserved/ did not deserve and most importantly, WHY others got more than we did.

If this is our thought process, we deserve then, to suffer.
