Just Think

Reality

The one truth in life is that things are never truly what they seem to be. What we see may just be an illusion, a dream concocted by your heart and seemingly brought to life by events and people. Yet it is often wise to listen to that voice at the back of your mind that whispers to heed caution, that all things life, be they good or bad, are but transient phases bound to pass. Reality, after all, is a cruel mistress and Fate a fickle deity who smiles and frowns when it is her whim.

There are moments in life when things seem too good to be true, when there are none so caring and none so kind as those who had scorned you before. You want to believe, but once bitten twice shy. Then there's this voice, no more than a whisper in the wind, that says to tread carefully. Trust is then like the thread that has been broken and then joined but there is a knot. There's a fragility to this trust that hadn't been there. One doesn't truly appreciate the strength of the bonds that join souls until the very existence of these bonds is uncertain. One doesn't truly appreciate the beauty of these relations than when mistrust mars it. When doesn't truly long for the past until time flies by and future that was then a beautiful distant dream is now a terribly real present.

What your heart teaches you is to give life to these bonds, to renew them and nurture them with reborn trust. What your brain tells you is to severe these bonds that cause pain, that the beautiful past has no relation to the forlorn present and the uncertain future, that those are merely beautiful memories as distant as dreams but these actions are real and the pain you feel is real too and you can bear no more. But what life teaches you is that one's heart can forgive, one's mind can forget but one's soul cannot repair. The bond that was built over a thousand moments was broken in a single and the knot will be there for a lifetime.
