It all depends on where you point it, whether it reflects joy or heartbreak.
"To throw it away, To lose but a day, In the quicksand of time, It makes me want to cry."-the Moody Blues
"Say good-bye to your sorrow, And hello to tomorrow, They say that love has come for all, Can't you hear the angels call? So I wrote her a letter, And tried to forget her."-Wolfmother
I believe to contemplate the future is way more productive than regretting the past. Time is a healer, if we let it be, by letting it wash away the sorrow of yesterday, and carry us into the mystery of tomorrow.
From personal experience, I believe that time eases the pain, but the heart will never mend. When my fiance' passed away unexpectedly, a piece of my heart died with him. I will never get that back, it is his forever.
I don't cry every day anymore, I don't think about him constantly and compulsively and I don't have flashbacks from that horrible day, but my heart will always ache for him, until we meet again.
As far as breakups.....they are gone, over with and I don't ever think about them...unless I'm plotting revenge!
Do I think about her from time-to-time? Sure, I'd be lying to say I did not. I'd like to think there was something valuable learned, despite the outcome. Something I can take with me...
But it's been over a year, and I've found that with time, it is easier to relegate the experience to the "Better to have loved and lost than..." file.
time is a great healer, but i do not think time alone mends a broken heart.... I believe mending a broken heart requires interaction with other people.... i think to suffer with a broken heart and only having time to heal would be a long miserable cold hollow lonely exsistence for any one.
it is the finding the faith in people again that nurtures and heals completly the broken heart.....
Yeah, time can callous a broken heart but as the song goes , only love canbreak a heart and only love can mend it again...
love requires other people in your life to love and be loved by.
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle basically guaruntees we will be changed by everything we experience. Everything we observe, we change, and by being observed, it changes us...
