Deepa's thoughts

I checked her post just now.. can't really say if it is true or not.. May be it is just a way to assure your ego, or maybe it is actually true? something might have meant a lot of joy once upon a time, so much that you can never imagine it being otherwise, but can end up meaning nothing later..

1. I realized an icky thing. Acceptance of a loss comes easily when you are convinced (or you convince yourself) that you actually gained something by losing it. You know, when it doesn’t cross your mind that what you lost also had some significance. When you refuse to think of what good might have happened had you not lost it. Possibly the thing you lost eventually caused you so much pain that you believe firmly that you’re better off without it, and it really doesn’t occur to you that it did bring you immense joy once upon a time.
