The Strength Of Spirit

I just recently watched a show, which tugged terribly hard at the strings of my heart. As I watched the plot unfold, my thoughts wandered to my own experiences. With those thoughts swimming in my head, it is no wonder I now am in a melancholic state of mind. When seeing on television situations very similar to an experience that you have personally experienced, it becomes a whole new ball game. You stop just seeing it as purely entertainment, but also see some of yourself in it.

One of the worst things to experience is that you love someone but yet the two of you are unable to be together, not due to your choice but because of the choices of the people around you or just the unfortunate circumstances that Life throws at us. Even unrequited love doesn’t hurt as much as inability to be together.

The parties end up pinning for each other; be it if they are so near each other but do not know that pertinent nugget of information, or even if they were miles apart. If you happen to be the outsider looking at one of them, you cannot help but feel the sorrow as they try and put on a happy face and smile. Just as you do not see them wipe away the tears and hide the grief so that no one really knows what they are going through.

The strength of the human spirit will probably never cease to amaze me; how it can one walk away from the things that matter so much, especially when the person knows how much pain it will cause or the amount of regret that will plague one. Things like this leaves the mind in turmoil and the spirit spent and tired.
