Why is it so difficult to let go off the past? each one knows that past will never come back yet he strongly clinches on to it, in the hope of getting the happiness he would have got once in life. The pains of a strained or a broken relationship continue to haunt one's present despite the fact that those moments of break up would have been the worst times of his/her life. Even when a person finds solace in a new person, he/she unconsciously tries to search the likes of his lost love in that. Why does time take so much time to heal the wounds of the past.Time does heal everything. May be in the long run it might make the person immune or numb to those pains. If only the person can stop chasing the shadows of the past and move on, things would roll smoothly again. But is it not difficult to hate the person you have loved more than yourself once. And is it not difficult to see the person you had been possessive about having a good and happy life with someone else. There are so many whys yet so few  answers. If only life had been favorable enough not to make one fall in a wrong relationship or may be meet the wrong person. But they say you meet all the wrong persons so that you can appreciate the gift that you receive when you meet the right one. I find all this to be rather difficult to comprehend because only the one who suffers knows the real pains he/she goes through.
