Time has one wonderful quality that comes very handy when you are having a rough time. Remember, no matter what happens, time will pass. And since situations never remain the same, you can be assured this too shall pass and a new day will dawn. All you need to do, is hang on.
Yes, I agree, it doesn't always help.. but in many, many cases... when you are ill and miserable, when you are in the midst of a very uncomfortable journey, or in a very upsetting situation, the awareness and acceptance of this undeniable and irrevocable fact can make a huge difference to your ability to cope with the situation and get out of it...
Next time, try it, and you won't be disappointed!

Siddes ....Me from Russia....English not good.....Nice sentence but to say....upsetting times have made sad, but time not heal it.....because I know....we are wrong sometimes....we hurt with words....actions...to people, who love me....guilt more strong, not time. Does not let time heal. Unti i say sorry...mean it...for hurt and then time take over and heal.
My Russian friend, I agree, not everything can be made OK by time. But time will give you the courage to say Sorry, and time will give your friend the heart to forgive you!
Yes..very true Siddhesh..When I got a B grade in Maths in 3rd std, I was really hurt..When the boy next-door kept bullying and teasing me in front of everyone, I was ashamed and scared..When a friend betrayed me and my teacher misunderstood me, I was broken..When I moved to Pune for higher studies after spending 11 years of my life in a small town, I was terrified..When I couldn’t clear JEE, I was shattered.. When I fought with my lecturer, I was angry..When I was not happy with my work, I was lost..
In all these depressing situations and others that I can’t write about, I always went to a peaceful place where I could be alone for some time and talk to myself aloud..I’d cry, I’d yell..If that wasn’t possible, I’d write it out..just let it out..And when I felt a little lighter, I always told myself : ”Don’t worry, this shall pass..like all other difficult moments have..Life is too precious to waste moaning over petty things; It's never as bad as you imagine it is”..And this alone was such a great source of strength..It’s true that we can’t wait for things to correct themselves. But this thought that this is not the end of the journey and there is something good awaiting us, is enough to get us back on our feet and take control of the situation before it starts controlling us..I feel with each such experience, I have fallen in love with life over and over..Quoting some lovely lines from my favorite vampire series Moonlight..
“Part of what makes life so invigorating is its finite nature..We are all mortal, our time is limited..It's what allows us to love and hurt and in the end, inspires us to make the most of the time we are given...” :)
