Live and learn is really live and remember. What you remember will determine whether you have seen the cup more empty or full in your lifetime and how it looks today. We shouldn’t forget the wrong(s) that have been done in our life or we’ll never learn. Yet for most this won’t be a problem as they will leave a scar that is hard to hide but if we search deeper we find extraordinary kindness and generosity surrounding such a wound. Where individuals went out of there way to celebrate a wonderful event in your life or showed an extra bit of compassion when things went in the opposite direction.
I remember such an individual who without fanfare returned a great deal of monies to me after it was lost and other individuals who stopped by to see when I was in the hospital, I truly have been blessed. Yes as an Elephant I do always remember those who have betrayed me or purposely hurt me. I hope that over time I will continue to see the beauty that surrounds my scars never allowing them to totally fade away but at the same time making sure the good lessons take the most of my time.
