Just A Thought ~ SCARS

Consider the scars on your hands ~ most of us have some. Each one has a story, and each one healed, though it took some time. Time heals all wounds if we allow it to, and don't insist on keeping them open.

There are different kinds of scars, some of them invisible ~ scars on the mind. Nothing is really forgotten, but merely stored away in the mind somewhere, waiting for someone or something to call it up; our hard-drive has a much bigger capacity than any p/c, and if we try to forget things, we remember them all the more. Forgetting isn’t something we do, but something that happens.

Forgiving, however, is something we have more control over; it is a verb, an action, something we can do, and not really hard at all; we only think it's hard, and so we hold on to old grievances and grudges, which become burdens that weigh us down, and don't allow these scars to heal.
