The "Compassion" of Time
March 23rd, 2009
We've all heard the saying, "This too may pass." It not only refers to the "bad times", but also "good times"--unfortunately.
When it comes to a less than optimal response to either operative or nonoperative treatment, a slow recovery after surgery, or persistent pain---I often characterize TIME as an ALLY.
In the spirit of "This too may pass", TIME can be COMPASSIONATE.
Despite the value of "accepting" illness,or one's pain--and learning to live with a less than ideal "physical ailment", (afterall, life goes on)
---hopefulness and optimism arguably inspire a reluctance to concede that one will never feel better.
There is no question that the our spirit, mind and body may converge as we struggle, potentially, to live life with pain.
The fact is that I witness on a continual basis the COMPASSION of TIME.
This is precisely why "inaction" may be the most effective strategy when looking for options to feel less pain--either more surgery, a different doctor, or losing hope.
TIME may be an ALLY----with time, you may find that you continue to heal.....and feel better.
