REFLECTION

 REFLECTION

Many times we catch ourselves thinking about nothing and, suddenly, a whirlwind of things begins to parade through our mind. Sometimes what triggers this is the sound of a horn, the barking of a dog, the meowing of a cat... or even a person humming a melody. Our reaction to the sounds around us is unpredictable... we can feel pleasure in some cases and fury in others. We can go from being calm and peaceful one moment to being nervous the next. And sometimes what causes this is a simple joke. No one will play with another person if they don't have a minimum of intimacy with them. But sometimes, for various reasons that escape our understanding, our joke is not well accepted by the person who is dear to us. If we manage to identify such a situation at the moment, we stop in the act, apologize and everything returns to normal. The problem is when we don't realize the harm we are causing, and then the situation can become irreversible, at least for a while.

We all have our ups and downs. We all go through situations where we would like to simply close our eyes and only reopen them when everything has been resolved to our satisfaction. But life is not like that. Life's problems exist, and each one has their story and their struggles to solve. My problems will always be more serious than those of my fellow man, at least for me. For I am experiencing them. However, many times, the problem of the person next to me is actually more serious than mine, but I simply cannot perceive such a situation, because I am so involved with my situation that I cannot see or feel the despair of the person next to me. my side. Yes, we are selective even in the pain we carry or perceive.

It's not that we are selfish... when we stop to think coldly about everyday events, we realize that we are no longer supportive of our own, but sometimes that feeling comes too late. If it's possible to correct our mistake, that's great... but that's not always a possibility. Of course, if we have a greater degree of friendship with the person in question, he may even forgive us... but we must not abuse it, because Love is something that must be cultivated with care and affection... and if we stop cultivate this feeling, one hour the person will get tired... it's not that they will stop liking you, but even Love gets tired of forgiving, the poet said...

Like I said, we all have our issues. But we must always seek to have the discernment to ask for forgiveness when we have hurt a loved one. We always have to be careful not to fail those people who like us...because those people who open their hearts to us and receive us without reservations... well, there are rare people who give themselves without reservations in our lives... .
