"......Time does NOT heal, it makes a half-stitched scar that can be broken and again you feel GRIEF as total as in it's first hour"
by Elizabeth Jennings
I thought this quote was very important for us all to remember and to hold as a rule of thumb.
Although it doesn't offer us an inspiration that time heals all wounds per say...but I NEVER believed that for I'm living proof of the fact.
If you have a heart, a mind, an emotion left in your spirit and soul, time can not take care of such things. It is the mere passage of days, nights, weeks, months, and years, NOT a physician or shaman.
We must realize that we all walk around with our own skeletons and woes. Therefore we must try to walk a mile in another's shoes FAR before judging them from their outter appearance or behavior.
For NO ONE knows the journey they have travled, the grief they have encountered, the abuse that they endured, or the path that their lives have taken.
Judgement is NOT ours to make.
As a civilized society (of which i often wonder if we are truly civilized in the true sense of the word), we must realize that time doesn't heal all and that some may be in our lives that relive hard, grief stricken, or unknown obstacles over and over, no matter their attempt to push it to the back of their minds. The mind doesn't quite work that way, everything we have encountered, experienced, learned and so forth is intricately stored within the curling crevices and hidden spots within our brain!
Remember the HEART rules the soul. Therefore tolerance and at least consideration in the very least should be commonplace. Sad to think that it isn't. That we judge RIGHT off from outward appearances.
Trust me we ALL wear a mask...take your own off for a bit and look hard. Has time healed all YOUR wounds? Are you a perfect entity that is fit to judge others??
COMPASSION is the key to so many things, and education about a person's life the lock. Take the time to unlock the door and step inside another's shoes before you think you have them figured out or even begin judgement.
