Why do I allow things I can not change to upset me? They are what they are and wanting them to change will not make it happen. The logical side of my mind knows this and understands it too well, but the emotional side of my mind does not. It thinks if I want it bad enough anything is possible. My logical side knows I can not control anyone else I can only control my reaction to their actions, but my emotional side says if they loved me as much as I love them they would not hurt me like this. My emotional side does not understand why they do what they do knowing it will hurt people.
I have a couple very wise friends and they have some really good advice, but hearing it and knowing it is good advice is one thing acting on it and learning from it is two different things. Emotions are a powerful thing. Memories that are associated with emotions are far stronger then any associated with logic. Time will heal everything, but people could help your emotional pains go away faster if they would just put themselves in your place, and see it like you do. I have always let my emotions get the better of me.
