How much poison can we drink at a time? And how can we detoxify ourselves? Or maybe not the poison makes us suffer so much but our sensitivity and our naive view?
Sometimes the only thing I have is hope. But sometimes even it seems to disappear. Fortunately, this does not last for too long.
Disappointment has a very bitter taste... but the good news is that experiencing disappointment and other negative feelings makes you stronger. You just grow a thick layer of protection and learn to become more flexible. And have less and less expectations...You learn to accept goodness with gratitude and appreciation.
The simple name of this process is called growing... how painful it is sometimes. And how funny it is that events and feelings we currently regard as being dramatic then become so unimportant.
