Justifying emotions.


Emotions - those set of feelings that make us human , give us joy and pain. Comprehending unreasonable emotions with reason is a  task we carry out everyday. Reasoning our actions, justifying our emotions can be frustrating and perplexing to say the least.  But then when were emotions supposed to be logical and practical?
Keeping your heart in place, requires more effort than we are given credit for. Love is blind and so is anger and resentment. Basically all these emotions are so intertwined and ined that it is impossible to segregate them into different boxes.
We  all in our own ways struggle to make sense of certain events in our lives. Our past decisions, our actions or inactions all follow us into our present. We are molded by our past, whether we like it or not. We can bury it,erase it from our memories, or try to reason it, but we cannot shrug it off . Our past is a part of our present.
Some wounds take forever to heal, some you learn to live with, and some others we try and find closures. Closures, ending of a chapter, justifying that our decisions were the best we could have made at the moment, all help us in moving on.  Without finding closure there is no forgiveness, and without forgiveness, there is no true moving on .
Confronting the unresolved issues is not always the wisest - yet if we have to move on, to live completely in the present, the need to know that there was no other possible solution is very intense. Every story needs a justifiable ending, an ending that makes sense and answers all our questions - all our whys. Closures give  way to new beginnings in the truest sense and bring solace to our heart. Not all stories have end, some just follow us  forever. A mystery unresolved,  mocking us and often leaving us with unquenchable desire to comprehend it all.
I am not sure if it is humanly possible to close a chapter and move forward without ever looking back, but understanding and finding answers do push us to move forward without our past dragging us down.

The last couple of months have been surreal for most of us - and nightmare to many others. People have lost loved ones, lost their liveliho...
