The Sharp Knife

When you truly learn something, what you know lives in your memories and makes it hard to forget. Even though something bad or hurtful happened in the past, we still can live through the present but sometimes nobody knows how deep a certain wound in your heart is. Laughters are simple ways to get out of that sadness, but even it is the best medicine, the scar lives on forever.

Often some people will remind you again of the truth and make you see the lies better. It's hard not to hate those people because your mind tends to label them for being the root where the hurt comes from. Actually it's not the reminder that gives you the heartache, but it's the truth and lies that you discover. What's worst is that you regretted your actions that had turned things upside down, regretted that you didn't notice that you have been stabbed in the back, regretted that you even went through the past.

If only we can turn back time and live life knowing what can happen in the future, life would have no challenges and our intelligence would not go any further than the level that we were born with. Sometimes you deny learning from your mistakes because you know it's not a mistake. Even consolations are given, those sharp bends broke the heart, how can the heart forgive and learn?

Knowing the truth sooner or finding out lies in the end, I'm not sure which is more hurtful.. but being pretended to, being lied to or being associated with nothing true is a tremendous hurt human being can do to each other.
