Stop Fighting Nature

There is suffering in life. There is a cause. There is a cure. There is an end.

When we get cut deeply, the pain is a signal to the brain that we must tend the wound. Even after we clean it and bandage it, the cut still hurts for many days. We must tend the wound every day and be patient with the pain. Little by little it improves. The same is true for emotional wounds. We should not try to force ourselves to “get over it.” That is absurd. We must allow ourselves the period of pain while we tend the wound. If we do, then we stop fighting nature and hasten our recovery.
