    We Need To Feel Pain

    To outgrow any weakness, we have to first feel the pain and the embarrassment it brings.   We remember how it feels and we replay those awful images and we learn to coexist with nightmares.

    • Interestingly, being weak on something doesn’t mean you’re not strong. It is just for that one thing that we have to learn from.

    • There’s definitely a lot of truth in this, but also everything in moderation. Becoming fixated on things won’t make you better, just neurotic.

    • Nice writing Daniel.

      Thinking is the root cause of all our suffering…. we can’t stop thinking but we can stop long enough to watch the mind.

    The words

    sometimes the words come to you and although you do not know them they ask to be written and there they are as if they were always there living inside of you the expression of things you did not know had names

    • Yes, they do, and it’s a marvelous thing when it happens. For me, “forced writing” usually fails, so I really love it words which seem to have lived inside come flowing out. You describe the experience well.

    • That is so true. You summed up my thoughts on how things just come out of nowhere,

    • Right now, the words are not coming for me, but I will read and comment till they come back. I like this

    Still

    I still think about you I know I don’t have the right But I said I cared and whether you realize it  or not I consider that a promise

    • Hi again, Lady Green 🌺

      One most important aspect of relationships, I’ve learned, is: whether it’s a wedded, loving, caring, and/or friendship that’s merely casual, etc; is that they come with no guarantee, whatsoever.
      I’ve always subscribed to the notion that the more one puts into anything, the greater chance of succeeding.
      But, and this is a big “BUT” … after stubbing enough toes, weathering too many heartaches, etc; it all too often becomes more and more arduous to offer all of one’s self so freely and hopefully. We tend to become a bit discouraged, reluctant, and weary of who, why, and when we do.

      “Still,” our need to care, love, and give, to be cared for, to be loved, and given to keep us continually revived, and we persevere … albeit, a bit wiser from each “promised” broken vow.

      Yes, I, too, believe when you say, “I care,” it’s a promise, and a promise is a promise, after all, until you wear out don’t anymore.
      Beautiful Free Versing, Green … got me t’thinkin’, and love it! ⁓ Rascal🖌
