My humble conception
Why have we insisted on being so strong, building walls keeping out not only threats, but our potentially most wonderful blessings?
We all have separate organs connected with one soul but isolation of any keeps us close to our graves.
Even the mighty needs alliance...nobody is an island but anybody that wishes to be has abridged the communication the body and soul have in common.
What is more painful - carrying the hurts of our past, or having not followed the callings of our souls?
Thinking of the mistakes of the past is the most painful event since I started thinking outside the box...if there can be a lucid imagination of the future even the dead would want to strive to live.
Yet, it is those hurts of the past which contain the seeds of wisdom with which we are equipped to co-design our futures with greater conscientiousness... ;-)
Affirmative! Our past is like a map for retracing our steps
