The Hardest Thing...

Letting go the past is the hardest thing - From this week's Lost:

"Jack: What happened happened and you can let it go.

Locke: What makes you think letting it go is so easy?

Jack : It's not , in-fact I don't know how to do it myself and that's why I was hoping that may be you can go first."


We carry that burden of that pain from the past which devours us slowly, no matter how hard we try to masquerade it everyday with a smile.

Neuroscience has an elegant explanation for this. Nevertheless, the visceral emotions does hurt. Letting the past go is not easy and it's not easy to go on without letting it go. Swimming out these emotional quagmire is what makes us stronger and better person. I don't know if it's gift or curse of being a conscious creature.

The cruel joke of nature is that the same consciousness helps us get out this quagmire. Our Mind can be the savior and destroyer. The irony is mind creates the options and chooses it too.
