I spend time thinking about the people who have made an impact in my life. You know, the people that matter. We have a lot of social media out there and it’s easy to scroll past people, see some post and move on. But there are certainly people who are the one’s who make the difference. They have an impact like Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, so it’s honestly impossible to forget them.
Losing people in your life
Probably one of the most difficult things is losing people in your life. That could be by argument or by death. Being separated from people you love is probably the most painful thing ever. Emotional pain is worse than physical pain because there is really no way to mask or remove it. You can take drugs to remove the physical pain and that can help relieve the suffering, but not really so much with the emotional pain.
You can miss someone so badly that you just don’t know what to do. Losing a child to a drug poisoning can cause serious grief, and no amount of medication can bring that person back. I had a friend who was estranged from her daughter, and she loved her very much. Her daughter refused to speak to her, ever, even to the point where she didn’t even attend her grandmothers funeral. My friend turned to alcohol to numb the pain of that relationship. Eventually at age 50 she succumbed to the effects of alcohol. She died in hospice with a failed liver.
Sometime there is nothing you can do.
You can’t save people as I have learned. You can sometimes just try and be a friend, if people will let you. You support your friends in an altruistic way and hope for the best.
Don’t be resentful. You can spend a life time working trying to be helpful to watch someone walk a different path. We have to be on our own path, and all we can do is bring love. Sadly people will reject love from us, even when we bring our “A” Game.
Amo, Amas, Amat!
All I know is that love is something really hard for me to let go of. If I fall in love, maybe I let go, but I’m alway going to love you.
Romantic? I don’t know, but there have been a lot of movie and references to this movie, this story, that it obviously means something to a lot of people. People can leave your life, then come back in. Rick loves hard, unlike Captain Louis Renault.
Love is what makes us human. When we stop caring about others, we lose our humanity. Love is what separates us from everything else.
