After having my gall bladder removed I was left with four scars. I was checking them out, observing how they have faded over time. For some reason my brain started comparing physical scars to emotional ones (don't ask why, my brain thinks weird things from time to time lol).  With time our emotional pain, hurt, disappointment etc, fades just like a physical scar. Some say the past should be forgotten completely. I am wondering if that is the way to go. Maybe at times we need to think back to past hurts to remind of the experience. To learn more from it. To show us how much we have grown, how much stronger we are. I don't believe we should dwell on the past, but I think reflecting on it from time to time can possibly be healthy. Maybe like physical scars, emotional ones never completely fade to the point we can forget. Any thoughts? |

I agree, the scars of yesteryear are no longer visible, but I need the scars to remind me, well not really remind me, but well ask me what happenened yesterday and I will struggle to remember but the memories of yesteryear are as clear as if the events happened yesterday Treat me with respect and I'll treat you the same

I am in agreement that looking at the scars is an opportunity to see just how far long the healing has come. I know some old wounds can fester over the long haul. That would be my own fault though. If I make the choice to not deal with the wounds before they are scarred over, then I will have issues to deal with when the wounds go septic. Dwelling on anything is a bad idea. If it warrants my attention I need to deal with it. I am always grateful when I can look at an emotional scar that is a silver stripe and it is a little sensitive to touch on, but only the memory of what caused it in the first place is present, and not the raw emotion. Excellent post Cin! Michelle

I've had this discussion with Ari a few weeks ago. I have several physical scars & emotional. I imagine, I look at my scars both, the physical & emotional differently then most do. I see physical scars as sexy. Emotional scars are a by product of life. You can't avoid them, but you can grow and learn from them. Perfection Isn't Sexy

"Our scars remind us that the past is real." Papa Roach (I can find cause to quote ANYONE) But I think there's truth in that line too.
