I firmly believe that time does not heal. People heal, actions help the healing. but time alone can't heal.\n\nWhat do you think?

a bad memory helps. and time aids in forgeting and putting new stuff on your mind so you think less about it. that's what happens to me. i think actions also aids in healing. but the quote "time heals all wounds" stuck around because it sounded wiser than "actions heal all wounds"

I say it is truly better to have loved (and lost it painfully) than to have never loved at all. It was not meant to be and you needed to learn something from that experience. Everything happens for a reason, god does not give you more than you can handle.

Time heals a broken heart i know at times it dont feel that way but i have been there the pain words cannot decribe. Sometimes we look for answers on why and how life for all has its ups and downs. But theres a purpose now you cannot see it a year from now you may not see it but its there, i have a story of my life that will really make you think but this is not about me its you. Iam just telling you everthing has a reason one day you will look back on this and say he was right because i know iam right and your blind with hurt. Look i told to people all the time in here about this and that some listen and some dont iam no expert who is we give advice on what we have lived and thats the best we can do. Anyway iam gone with one finally thing to say go forward somethings out there for you and ever young man and female.

While I see your point that its harder to find people like this, I can still empathize for people.  I have been hurt alot, starting at five when my dad walked out, and i just dont want to see others hurt like i have been hurt.  I go out of my way to make sure i never hurt anyone.  And i often find that people are more than willing to take advantage of that.  It makes you sad to know that no one looks out for other people anymore, and its all about themselves.  This is definetly not me-i would go without to make someone happy, and if i see someone in pain i will do whatever i can to stop that pain.  I got a forward from someone about the perfect heart that i think you would really appreciate.  I would tell you, but it might be a little long-I know this might seem weird, but if you wanna email me at wyzeone2000@yahoo.com, ill find it and send it to you.

GOOD QUESTION: well done! There is not really any such thing as time, it is merely our way of describing a particular abstract concept. If it was a solid physical reality it surely couldn't be relative. Lets all go and read Einstein and try to figure it out!

Love is a very hard thing to let go of. Dont beat yourself up over it. Time heals all :)

WOW ... well, let me answer your last question first ... no one will answer because you are making them think too much.  Personally, I am in awe of such an amazing question.  Alas, I know I will NOT be able to do it the justice it deserves with a simple answer.  \n\nSo let's look at the Original Question ( in bold ) and simply answer that.  Yes, I do believe that time is an illusion, that all we have is now ... RIGHT NOW.  Because our perceptions are warped ( only having 24 hours in a day ) we justify by "prioritizing" what we feel is important and has to be done at this time.  Or we put off things that can be done later ( which has no bearing on this topic ).  We might come across a more important thing to do, and therefore put the things we originally prioritized to be done on hold for the time, and pay attention to what seems to be the new important thing. \n\nSorry this isn't as great of an answer that the question deserved because we can still go into depth about abstract ideas and how we must have them done now ... i.e. Love - among other topics.

The power of forgiveness is amazing.  It is the hardest thing to do but has amazing results when you do it.  It may just seem like the "religious" thing to do, but you need to release that burden of the past and put it back on them. When you don't forgive someone it only hurts you-- not them.  So let it go-- the best you know how.  I am a christian but I have seen the power of forgivness in my family who is athesist.  God Bless you and I hope that you don't have to live in this forever.  :)

Well, its pretty much as crimsonmoonvc said.\n\nUnlike the spatial dimensions of perception, time is not directly accessable by any sensory organ. We precieve time by the unfolding of the events around us.

All the previous post-ers have good points, do consider their advice thoroughly.\nDoubt the world and the motives of those who occupy it, but not the Creator.\nThere's an old expression that says the Lord gives you no more trials than he knows you can handle. To this - I myself have said "Gee I wish he didn't trust me so much."\nAlso there are theories on the trials and tribulations of our lives being things we chose for this life before we were born, all in a desire to experience the life in it's many facets. I also sometimes have a problem with that idea, because there are a number of things in my life that I think "there's no WAY I could have chosen to experience that". But when I'm in a more reflective mood, I realize the events in my life, both joyous and tragic, have shaped me and what I've become. And what's more I am proud of myself, that I haven't let the trials beat me down, and that I don't go around blaming others for what could be considered misfortune.\n\nLife can turn completely around in a moment's notice, you never, ever know what difference one choice can make. Doors of opportunity open and close all around you. Let go of your frustration, it's a grief we've all had at some point. Spend time meditating and searching out what new path is coming up in your life.\nAnd most importantly take a moment to be thankful for all the things you DO have, as it seems there are some significant ones.\n\nDeep breath, blow it out, re-center yourself, and things will be better I promise.

Ya Time is just a measure of change... If there is change then you can say that there is time... No-time isn't a "theory" it's an idea, a thought game.

Why, just the other day, on my way to Sunday school, to teach the cute little kids lies and fire and brimstone .. I noticed MY carnation was all wilted, on my suit jacket.\n\nIt MAY have been a sin, but I stopped at the widow Simpson's flower bed and got a new one out of the ground, and reincarnated myself!\n\nSo, Jim (Welcome back).. it IS possible, this re in carnation stuff.\n\nand there you are too .. so it MUST be true, since we all know miracles do not really happen!

No because, while time may pass at different rates for different people, they are all still "in the present."  You don't have one person in the past and one in the future.

They absolutely do get better.  The hard part is believing you will feel better and not knowing exactly how long it will take.  It can be easier to move on, for some people, if they break all contact. Believe that better days are on the way for you.

Sometimes this type of healing can take a long time.  But there will come a time that when you think of them you will smile instead of cry.  I work at a hospital and deal with death quite often.  Just remember, death is part of life, it is natural and it happens to everyone.  There are never any reasons or answers.  It just is.

yes in 2001. physically it took 3yr.s of physical therapy and a dozen dr.s(bunch of med.s) i also had a lot of friends and family to help. people understood. mentally i just had to keep reminding myself it wasn't my fault. a bunch of those dumb cliches` everyone talks about like, everything happens for a reason. and god only takes you when he's ready for you. and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. stuff like that became something to live by. i guess there's a reason those are cliches`. as corny as they may be they are true. the best thing is to try not center your life around "that wreck" it might ruin the moment at the time. but don't let it ruin your life.

As the saying goes...time heals all wounds. Move on with your life, spend time with loved ones, find a new hobby or resume an old one, make new friends, start a journal to write down your thoughts so that you can work through them...the key thing is to put him out of your mind and eventually, out of your heart.
