What we can do with our feelings of sorrow?
We can be just like an oyster living our life, an oyster that has been hurt does not produce pearls, isn’t it?
Did you know that pearls are products of pain; results of the entry of a strange or undesirable substance inside the oyster like a parasite or grain of sand. In the inner part of the shell is a substance called nacre.
When a grain of sand penetrates it, the cells begin to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the helpless body of the oyster. As a result, a beautiful pearl will graduate. An oyster that hasn’t been hurt by an undesirable substance, in no way produces pearls, so the pearl is a healed wound.
The same can happen to us in our life. Have you ever felt hurt by someone’s rude words or behaviours? Have you ever been accused of saying things you didn’t say? Doing things that you haven’t done it? Have you ever had your opinion been rejected or misinterpreted? Have you ever suffered the hard blow of prejudice? Have you received the treatment of indifference?
If your answer is yes, then you can produce a pearl! Cover your sorrows with several layers of love.
Unfortunately, there are few people who are interested in this kind of understanding. A lot of people learn only to cultivate feelings of resentments, sorrows, leaving wounds open and feeding them with various kinds of small feelings and therefore not allowing these feelings to heal.
So, when we see are a lot of “empty oysters”, it’s not because they weren’t hurt, but because they couldn’t forgive, understand and turn the pain into love. A smile, a kind gesture, most of the time, is worth more than a thousand words!
How to you want to live the rest of your life? Do you want to allow the hurt, sorrows, resentments control the rest of your life and feel sad, unhappy or you want to be just like an oyster and produce a beautiful pearl inside of you? You deserve to live a happy life!
What is stopping you to live a life with beautiful feelings inside of you? Only your choices, isn’t it? You can choose compassion, forgiveness, happiness, love, the choice is always yours.
Wishing you health and happiness,
