"The pain was necessary to know the truth. But we don't have to keep the pain alive, to keep the truth alive."
Mark Nepo
I saw this quote yesterday in an article about grief, and it struck me.
I have come across various thoughts and quotes in the past week about TRUTH.
For me... TRUTH is another word for the IS.
I am forever searching for it.
Trying to understand it... in myself.
Perhaps too often overthinking it.
My mind is full right now.
My truth feels unnecessarily complicated.
I always feel guilty when I reach this point... because my life seems so plentiful and occasionally empty at the same time.
I think we all go through these emotions...
I just note them more deliberately.
I am a fortunate man, and our greatest fortune comes from meaning... and from selflessness.
I remain too selfish.
"The pain was necessary to know the truth. But we don't have to keep the pain alive, to keep the truth alive."
Keep finding the truth in your life...
Keep it alive...
in harmony,
Nestor
