The farther you try to run from your past, the faster it chases you. This is what my father told me after watching a movie where the protagonist tries to run away from his past. I then started thinking which I rarely do. Is my father right?
As humans, it is but natural to have a past. What I don’t seem to understand is how the word ‘past’ has taken a negative connotation over the recent times. Past could be anything, it could be a lovely relationship to a shady affair. It could be a memorable moment to a ghastly accident. It could just be anything that happened as recent as a second ago. It is a situation which we were part of. Is it necessary for us to run away from these when it turns out to be a miserable past?
Forgetting the bitter moments of our life paves the way for a happier tomorrow but running away from them just makes it harder to forget. Shutting the boundaries of those yesterdays, closing the doors to all those people involved, will push the boundaries and doors so hard that the bricks break and create worse wounds than ever imagined. Bandaging the severed wounds doesn’t help either; the wounds can just come loose and spill out the infection. As the best cure to an injury is to leave the wound open, the best way to heal the terrible moments in life is not to bandage them but to leave them open, time heals everything.
