Scars



Talking about attribution on the reasons which may have caused our behavior and the psychological defense mechanism such as projection and substitution, we know best what we do when we are coming across unpleasant stimuli just so to make us feel whole lot better. Every little incident has its impact onto our feelings, does not matter whether it is in a good way or bad. From time to time we are hurt by the words spoken or the message delivered, where our hearts sink and not know what or how to react for the first few seconds, then back to the reality and start wondering what we should do or should have done. Rewind our memories few years back, we start comparing how the same particular person has treated us before and after, where we will then comment on how silly and stupid it was, though it may seem to be heart-warming and joyous back then. Once read a story that a heart covers in scars is one true beauty as compared to the ones without any scratches at all. Nevertheless, personally find it hard to have one soul that is fine as though it is still new to this world and yet to experience different kinds of obstacles ahead. Perhaps we are made to forgive and not forget, or we simply do not forgive as long as we still remember the incident which occurred, not to mention we sometimes enhance our memories just so it fits onto our perspectives and our perspectives only. Perhaps we simply not wish to admit how we prone to recall the less pleasant memories on how the others have treated us and how often we have the urge to have our revenge by telling ourselves that particular person does not worth our friendship. Perhaps we are like any other wounded beings, dislike people showing up and faking a smile on the face while telling us everything is as good as it used to be when it is not. Perhaps we just want to have a peace at mind, repressing the unpleasant emotions and thoughts, though it is just for the few minutes from our lives.
