This just gave me a moment. Everything in her hands was exactly that I was holding onto. Hurt, guilt, anger, shame.. regret. No matter how hard they tried, the end was nothing but a lot of tears and a lot of weeping.
People change. And they change in the most horrible ways. They reveal their shockingly monstrous side. The side that all of us conceal in ourselves maybe. The side from which the curtains are shed only when the time comes. In some cases, well in most of the cases the time never comes and their friends literally live a life full of delusions. Thinking their friend is the one only, the loyal, the perfect person who would NEVER in the world judge you or get you in trouble. It's pathetic, really. But never mind, people are sick. "You can't live without trusting people, but you have got to be wise", one of the most reasonable friends had told me once. How very true of her.
Living in the moment doesn't mean a complete betrayal towards your conscience in the lure of stand-by happiness, but it means letting go of regret IN THE NAME of NEVER repeating your mistakes. Time that gives a lesson, no matter how many hardships you have faced because of it, is a time well-spent. Past doesn't matter, none of it does. It can never make you a person you are today. So, why hurt? Why regret? Why fear?
Plus, know that you're not alone. EVERYONE has his flaws and faults. They are different for different people. Minor and major for different people. Guidance is another thing, the moment you start ACCUSING people of their misdoings, you start forgetting your owns. And that, according to me, is the root of all evil.
