“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ― Mark Twain
This reminds me
of a true story of a woman and her daughter. Her daughter was in a relationship
and wanted to settle down with him.
However, things
turned ugly and both of them decided to part ways. The girl is now happily
married and does not regret the’ decision’ either.
Sadly, even now,
even in smaller arguments, just to win … the old lady would bring up her
daughter’s past taunting her how bad her decision-making skills are.
Why are we so
ruthlessly competitive, selfish and brutal that human life has become all but
unbearable??
Anyway,this
continued for years until one day the daughter discovered that her wise mother
had a past too… Ouchhhh!!!
So true…
connections are made with the heart, the tongue may break it..”
The truth is that
while much attention has been given to the need to love each other and the
environment if we are to save the world, the real need if we were to actually
succeed in doing so is also to find the means to love the dark side of
ourselves and others too.
