Echoes and reflections

Wading through heartbreak's swamp is a daunting task. Also a depressing one. It becomes a more difficult one when you realize that you've been here before for the exact same reasons. The only thing that's different is the amount of gray hairs you have now.

There must be something hilarious to those cosmically in charge about someone who hasn't learned.

But what about it can be funny? Maybe because the joke's on me, I don't know why it's so funny. If anything, it's pretty sad to see someone try the same thing, recognize the problem, and still fail to come up with a solution. Maybe I just suck at recognizing comedy because apparently I wouldn't know funny if it bludgeoned me in the face repeatedly with the same thing over and over.

But can these echoes and reflections be distorted and misconstrued and interpreted differently from the point of origin? Surely something like "You suck!" can in time become "You rock!", right?

Despite appearances of not progressing forward, each second is valuable. It just takes time for the big picture to be fully revealed. Was the Great Wall of China built in a day? Was the Grand Canyon formed in a matter of hours?

Time heals all wounds. But one has to make the effort to pass the time and reach for the medicine instead of letting the cuts fester and bleed out until there is nothing but an empty shell of the self pretending everything is fine and dandy.
