Truth is often unpalatable. Reality is
often unacceptable. But facts don’t change. As you move through life, equations
change, just like people playing different characters in a play. And the one
thing you cannot afford to do is get wedded to one role. Otherwise, you cannot
play another role effectively. Though you always remember the ones you played
to the hilt.
In life, therefore, compartmentalization is
of prime importance and leaving memories behind, too. We hold onto beautiful
memories for dear life and lament on what has changed. But we have to allow for
the evolution of everything and everyone. Not everyone will stay with you. Not
everyone will care for you the way you want them to. And the opposite is also
true.
But you know what? It is ok. There are many
pluses in life and gratitude for this is imminent. You let go what doesn’t work
and what doesn’t work is what gives you constant pain. What deprives you of
your peace and happiness?
How many times do we cut our losses and
make peace with ourselves?
