Emotional Baggage
So often uttered.
But what is it really.
Memories of hurt that weigh you down in the Present?
Previous mental entanglements that impede our movement into the Future?
Some people deal with these psychological kilos better than others.
Has it got to do with the degree of pain that was historically inflicted?
Maybe it is the extent to which an investment of feelings was made that matters.
Or perhaps it is the innate ability to forgive that varies from person to person.
But how can we forgive and yet not forget.
Is this real forgiveness?
Because if we cannot, we haven't really gotten rid of the Baggage have we?
Humans, all of us.
And I reckon we are trapped with our own cursed loads forever.
Only Time and Circumstance will tell whether these ugly hidden bags will turn up on Life's carousel.
Again.
