Its all in the Letters

Sometimes you need to transform negative feelings and situations into positive experiences. I have come to realise that 'Lying' has five letters, but so does 'Truth', so there is very little reason to opt for the former, when the latter gives you a feeling of release and peace. Similarly, 'hurt' has four letters, but so does 'heal'.  Hurt is easily meted out and often felt in bad situations, but healing is far more difficult to achieve, bearing in mind our human nature.  The negative feelings of hurt are often subjective feelings and the lesson is to allow healing to happen quicker, because it helps you to overcome and move forward without negativity.  But while showing someone you are hurt can send them a strong message, it is not necessarily the heart attitude you should portray, or the correct expression in the healing process. That is why, it is also relevant that 'hate' has four letters and yet so does 'love'.  We can hate circumstances and situations, but we should never hate people.  Love is more conquering than hatred and resentment and we need to move away from situations, that invoke hatred, to those that foster love.  We can chose to allow feelings of hatred to linger and fester within us and we never experience the release of the situation, because we have become hardened to the negative feeling within us.  Holding onto our anger and resentment leads us to define people as 'enemies', which has seven letters, instead of looking for relationships, which result in 'friends' which is also seven letters. It is difficult in today's times to find lasting and meaningful friendships and love is a rare possession, which should be savoured and relished.  Don't fall into the trap of making negative presumptions and assumptions.  Rather spend your precious time, 'loving' and not 'hating', being 'friends' instead of 'enemies', telling the 'truth' over 'lying' and helping to 'heal' others instead of causing them 'hurt'.  Let this be the things you dwell on and hold on to rather than getting to the end of your your life with regrets.
