My analogy to this riddle is simply this... in life things happen in the background that are unbeknownst to us. However just because they do not happen in our plain sight does not mean they did not/ are not taking place around us or behind us. I apply this to relationships. Take for instance a loved one who hurts another but that injured loved one is not present at the time to witness the act that wounded them to begin with. Does this mean that simply because the wounded individual did not witness the cause of their pain, that their pain is not then validated? Could this also mean that because a wounded individual does not demonstrate their pain for others to witness, that this must mean they are not hurt, injured, or scarred? Of course not. However the silence of an individual voicing their pain can definitely birth a long term hindrance to an already strained relationship and create a near continental drift between two loved ones tearing them apart forever. What is left unsaid can often lose validity in the long run if not spoken up with in reasonable time. Gee... Melodramatic much? ... you ask. Why yes. Consequences of too much caffeine and restlessness.
Today I feel a loss. The feeling of a life long friend who has grown apart is something that wounds my soul. Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not or saying nothing and wishing you had? Sometimes in life we can easily circumvent a situation by the restraint of that which should be left unsaid, while other times it's necessary to boldly speak the truth no matter how much it may pain one to say and/or hear. Wounds do heal after all, life will go on. In either scenario one must always be prepared to deal with the consequences of one's decision and apply it as a life lesson learned. Deep reflections.. Sorry, No dear Jack Handy tonight.
