It is not the time that makes us understand that defeats deserve to look them in the face and renew our minds.
It is the damage and blows to the stomach that disrupt our world and dismantle our lives. Getting out of a battle with pain or injury is the best way to understand that in life there are as many reasons to suffer as you want.
- The pain has a color as sad as the paths full of dry leaves broken by the passage of pedestrians.
- But it is as necessary to regenerate us as autumn for the flowers of our trees.
When the sky is cloudy, only a wise look forged in melancholy can appreciate its beauty and pattern. Rain, like tears, has the power to clean everything up and help us clearly contemplate what surrounds us.
The years give us the prospect of having accumulated lost battles and regained feelings. Time embraces us with the baggage it offers to think.
Years and damage make a perfect team to build land that we must sow at every step, let’s say they give us the opportunity to enjoy an experienced look, which you can see beyond vision, eyes and time.
It is not necessary to reach old age to know that our knowledge can go beyond the filter of the mind. Among the four walls of wisdom is a mansion of emotional intuition, an oasis of teaching and a paradise for maturity.
Emotional maturity is not like physical maturity. Our bodies grow desperately over the years. You get older and you ride without being able to avoid it. It cannot be said that the years lead to a parallel psychological development, although of course time also has a significant influence on this process.
There are hundreds of textbooks that teach us how to develop skills we don’t even imagine; However, there is no one to help us walk the path of life, no one tells us how we should grow emotionally, but we end up learning through trial and error (i. e. , falling and rising).
Not having an easy life teaches us to go the most complicated paths that exist, it is not about filling the head with pieces of the best quality, but of studying our hearts and our emotions.
Yes, the damage and pain they cause help us develop our emotional intelligence, accept what’s coming, sink us and look inside without fear, winking at them, looking at all those complicated situations that one has dejected us.
Sometimes the impermanence of the essentials hits us hard and our castle collapses, but a vital path is always next to that part of us that has suffered or is suffering, so do we have to take care of it?
As we know, suffering is not a path we can learn from a book; it is a step towards the freedom and courage of a heart forged in reality that we will all live.
