Every once in a while we'll all be pretty angry at someone else. The real question here is why? Can you really blame someone else for "everything"? Okay... occasionally I guess we can, but look far beyond that. Do you really want to carry all of that yourself? Is it really going to do you any good? Is it worth it? All of that will only eat at you, take the parts of you that are really valuable. It's for all those reasons that you may feel bitter, that you shouldn't.
From the soundtrack to "The Rocker" I bring you the revised, "I'm Not Bitter"
Minutes
Turn into hours
And hours
Bleed into days
It's been years now
Since the trouble
You left me
And I wanna say
I'm not bitter
But I've seen
Better days
I'm not bitter
Is it
The better man
That always
Walks away
No phone call
Or even a letter
No words
To cause me any pain
It's been years now
Since anything
Could hurt me
And through this life
I think my way
I'm not bitter
But I've seen
Better days
I'm not bitter
Is it
The better man
That always
Walks away?
Watch me walk away
I'm not bitter
But I've seen
Better days
I'm not bitter
I'll be
The better man
Watch me walk away
Watch me walk away
(I'm not bitter)
Watch me walk away
(I'm not bitter)
Watch me walk away
...watch me walk away. I think there is a massive lesson in there somewhere. I think I've definitely had better days and I'm trying not to be bitter. I'm going to be the better man I'm going to walk away.

I am so glad that I learned to understand that everyone carries their own wounds and that is the only reason why they have the potential to hurt us. We still allow ourselves to be hurt by them though and therefore there is no reason to ever need someone to apologise to you. Everyone is just trying to survive themselves ...
ReplyDeleteWounds only heal if we let go. I think if we're waiting for someone to apologise each time we would never be able to heal. Sometimes we simply have to be the better man and simply walk away. Always easier said... or typed than done.
