Are they Selfish or Smart???

It’s sad how things change. The way the road suddenly splits and you have to make a choice. How people choose different paths. How they take the easy road when they hit a road block. Instead of trying to clear out the road block they choose to just walk away. It’s easy for some people to block things in life; things that are not doing any good to them in their life. Should that be called a selfish move or a smart thing to do?

Looking at it in one way only makes it seem the logical thing to do. I mean why bother oneself with things or people that are bad news for you. Just block them out of your life and go behind the things that make sense to you and what you truly want. Just chuck everything else. Throw it in the nearest available dumpster and walk away, as fast as you can, never look back and see what happened of it.
But like it’s said, everything has a second side. And this one makes it look like the most selfish thing to do. Use something/spend some time with someone for sometime because it makes you feel good at that time. Then after some time you realize that this thing/person that was making you happy is of no use anymore and is not doing you any good. So you toss it away. Not even giving it a second look. Not caring about what happens of it. Here I use ‘it’ for a person and a thing as that is what the person who has been through something like this feels, like an unwanted mantle piece.

It’s sad that there are people like this in this world. I keep wondering how one would get over this. This gash in the heart that opens every now and then, you carry on with your day to day activities not letting anything cause the gash to reopen and then something happens and there it’s open again. How long does it take to heal? Only time will tell, is the only answer that comes to my mind. No matter how much one tries not to think about it, it does not help. That pain is there all the time, reminding you that you stopped thinking about it and you are back to beginning of the loop.

The more you avoid it, the more you are reminded of it… so what is one to do? Think about it and hurt or not think about it to end up thinking all over again.
It’s a sad state that is beginning to sound funny… are you laughing yet?
