Time Heals Wounds

Every time, a wound grows in your life, you will be told by others: "Don't worry, Time will heal your wound". Is that really true? Let's figure that out

First, let's talk about wounds. Wounds could be anything that causes pain or hurts, despite how deep it is and how long it hurts, whatever hurts you let's refer it to "Wound". A wound could be as simple as paper cut or as painful as heart break. It can come into different forms. But tell me, can time really heal every form of a wound? We'll see about that in a second.

Combining wound with time, list common wounds that any human being is subject to.  Starting with least painful wounds to most painful wounds. Then measure in your own terms, how much time you think it takes to heal each wound. Here are my results:-

Wounds                                                                                            Time             

Paper cut                                                                                          1 second

Scratch                                                                                             5-15 minutes

Finger burn                                                                                       Few hours

Fever &flu                                                                                          3-5 days

Going deeper than that:

Wounds                                                                                            Time             

Getting hurt from a close person                                             1-3 days

Losing a friend                                                                                 2-3 weeks

Heartbroken                                                                                     4-5 months

Betrayed from unexpected person                                         6-12 months

There is still a lot more to list:

Wounds                                                                                            Time             

Divorce                                                                                              Infinite

Death of beloved once                                                                 Infinite

Being cheated on                                                                            Infinite

Suffering from incurable disease                                             Infinite

You see my point, not all wounds can be cured by time. The first four wounds may be physically painful but easily forgotten. The second four wounds may get healed by time. The pain may be forgone but they will break some things within you. The last four wounds are like tattoos in your heart. The pain cannot be forgotten or forgone; you will always be reminded of them. They create fear and a hole in your heart that sucks your happiness. Time can never heal these wounds.

If time can't heal them, what can heal these wounds? It's YOU who can.

You are the one who can treat yourself. You don't need time to heal these wounds; you need confidence & willingness to ease the pain. You will need to change many aspects in your life. You need to empower yourself & be stronger from inside. Don't wait for others to heal your wounds, do it on your own simply because you can. Ask for help after failing to heal your wounds but not before that.

We are human beings; we are subject to wounds. You may remove some, & you may adapt to live with them. Here is a little exercise for you to try: search for speeches represented by Cancer Survivors. They have gone through toughest wound you could ever imagine, & yet they survived! See how they managed to survive, you won't regret it.
