Crimes of the Heart

I went see a play last night called Crimes of the Heart.

It was mainly about three girls growing up and finally having to face the difficulties in their lives. Rather than just giving in and believing that they can't go on, they all manage to find a way through the hard times that their family is experiencing.

Many times in our own lives, we often feel that we can't go on. We believe that there is no way of overcoming the emotional hurt or betrayal we experience deep within our hearts and minds.

But eventually, time passes, and we learn to cope with our pain and eventually overcome it.

The key is to accept the difficulties in our lives with love and compassion. All things are transient, including both joy and suffering.

No matter how hard we try to hold on to pleasant experiences or push the bad ones away, they all begin to fade with time.

If we are willing to acknowledge our sadness and then let it go, the hurt we feel today will eventually diminish.

During difficult moments, we can always remember the joy we've experienced in the past and know that the future holds just as much joy and love for all of us.
