Time heals all wounds?

[kenny1999]

We often say time heals all wounds.

In fact, what is the actual process and the change in our body that will make us feel so bad at a time, but after some time or a long time, we will not feel like that even if we still remember the incident that made us sad?

Desensitization. 

It becomes less salient. 

New memories become more prominent.

You clear out a negative past by creating new positive memories.

Acceptance helps too

Time heals all wounds?

Depends on the people..

 

It doesn't work in the Middle East.

 

If you think something "works", you are blatantly lying and/or you're an idiot.

Generation after generation keeps the "secret" of who killed their father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, etc. etc. etc.

Parents and grandparents share their hatred with younger generations..

Hatred is directed at people who have been dead for decades, centuries or thousands of years. Therefore, the hatred is directed at the living, who have no connection to the source of the hatred, and the cycle repeats itself.

By killing them ("terrorists"), you create more of them ("terrorists")... You're terrorist, who created more terrorist..

 

 

I watched a documentary in Chinese. It was simple. A senior communist leader-teacher was training young workers how to deal with Western tourists on cruise ships, etc. They called tourists from Europe and the US "white devils".. This was not 50 years ago. Only 5..

 

 

Europeans or US citizens often think that "everything is fine".. because there is no war, etc. when hatred is growing all around them (directed against them) without their knowledge.. people are stupid.. Your grandfather murdered some grandfather/family member of theirs a few hundred years ago and they want/demand revenge and you are just a blatantly stupid tourist who just came to their country thinking only about your crap stuff and fun..

Whatever the process is, and it might vary from person to person, it probably ends with acceptance and the decision to move forward.
