It’s a testament to the awe inspiring power of the human mind..
You can cause yourself emotional pain…if you think about it hard enough..
And if you’ve lived any kind of life.
You can lie in bed, and replay the worst.
You can touch it like a wound…to see if it still hurts.
And if the pain is real, then it always will..
View this activity as only an exercise..
Now, picture a family member pouring booze on it and asking anyone that will listen.
“do you see me? Do you understand this pain? Do you share in it with me?”
I do not.
I can.
My empathy works.
But you poured alcohol on it.
Therefore, you can’t even feel the pain clearly.
You forced yourself to dilute…
Pain rarely does solo gigs …for most..
The vessel has a way of spilling out onto anyone in proximity..
And even if someone listens, and Even if someone had the answers or at least solid advice…
“You wouldn’t listen.”
Because you’re subconsciously craving the pain.
And you want to be noticed for carrying such a cumbersome burden..
“My my my… they’ve been through so much..”
(not really..not in the scheme of things)
No…
Not really..
Not in the scheme of things..
