It hurts...the sand in my hand.

Em..so...Hi!
I've been hurt before, you have been hurt before... the hell, we have all been hurt before! They say we should just let it go. That we should just forgive...yah think? Just let it go? ...'It hurt so bad', 'I felt like i had been gutted clean like a fish', 'I couldn't breath', 'It felt like my brain was a computer, that had been shut down abrubtly'... and everybody has a totally different, but accurate way of describing how the hurt or hurts (lol) felt. How can letting go help? Its sounds like someone just stood up and boldly (proudly too...puffed chest, nose in the air, igbotic feigned british accent, etc) says '' to get to the north you must travel east'' well?! sounds like bullshit to me. I'd say get a smith&wesson and blow his/her brains out! But you know, if dats the way, uhun uhun, there would be nobody left on the surface of the earth. Dont look so thoughtful... Yep! Talkin to you!
...yada yada yada. Can go on expantiating on hurting someone and being hurt but the real deal is the letting go ise. And so here's an allegory...
Been holding some sand in your fist. Now, the sand particles are sharp and so they may have cut you, but you can't tell because you hand is fisted up. By now you are used to the pain so you simply keep living with one hand ( I mean, there's hardly anything a fist can do for you, except knock on a door and kconck someone,s head). Letting go is like realising that, you actually have two hands that you can use to work, play, pray, eat...basically function from day to day AND releasing your fist so that you can maximally use your two hands. It's hard to just open up a hand that has been fisted for so long but you open it all the same. Well..what do you know?
First, air feels good on your skin. O Gad! Feels so good...feel like...whatever you think. Then you realise that the throbbing in your hand all these years was because of the sand-carrying fist of yours. When you can finally wriggle your fingers, you'd probably notice a giggle or two escape your lips. Altogether, it a lovely experience.So when some one hurts you so bad and well, 2 years after, it still hurts as bad, then its probably gonna keep hurting as much for the next 2years and more, if you don't 'at ease' that fist. What's with you, self? Just let the poor sand go already!
just saying
Ciao
