The weight we carry
Abstract:
There’s a weight we carry, unseen, unnamed,
A quiet ache, a heart untamed.
It lingers in the daylight’s glow,
A shadow that refuses to let go.

“So speak your truth, let someone in,
Healing starts where love begins.”
Nice lines, but a bit naive.
Many deep hurts in life come from people who we have already “let in.” Desdemona’s worst hurt came from Othello, her beloved husband. Draupadi’s hurt too came from the rash gambles of her husband. In such cases, love, instead of being the healer, is the very cause of distress. It’s not unusual at all. So, it’s a bit naive to think that “healing starts where love begins.”
As someone said, “God! Save me from my friends. I can take care of my enemies.”
How does one heal then? The following help:
1. Time
2. Helping those in need; a general attitude of benevolence towards the world
3. Immersing oneself in work that is loveable
4. LMN: Literature (novels, epics etc.), Meditation, Nature walks
5. Satsanga: Social connection with people who have noble interests
