Hoarders and Losers

As human beings, I think we are naturally hoarders. We tend to hang on to things be they material things or intangible things like relationships. People we love, for instance, we like to keep them close and we like to keep them forever. But, as life is wont to do, it never acts the way you want it to. So ‘things’ happen and we lose our stuff. We lose our friends and people we love. That’s just the way life is.

Life is also how we deal with those loses. Cry our eyes out, sure. Suffer the heart ache, sure. But never, never should our loses stop us. Just as we learn as kids to get up after a fall, we pick ourselves up, dust off our bottoms and dry up our tears and keep going.

    Very well said Nette….Just like we all knew….If there is a Beginning there must be an End.

    Perhaps there is a sense/perception of loss but where do we all go ultimately? Where do we all come from ultimately? From the one source which is beginningless and endless, which is eternal and true and where nothing is ever lost or gained for that matter :-)

    Thanks for sharing so easily and simply :-) In love, Lucy

    I think the more difficult acceptance for me has been losses acquired through choices I believed where the right ones for me, but turned out poorly.

    It is so difficult to let go, even when our heart tells us it is time…Life has a way of directing us to the next place, we just have to be flexible enough to follow..
    Good post!
