Friscodj,
I understand the subtle approach to your wording.
Can I unturn every rock but one? Leaving doubt in my mind only allows me to dwell in the past, and not the present.
[begin Analogy]
Analogy of Your wording is the equivalent of a prophecy of my own defeat. Leading in to battle, knowing that you have only one sword against thousands. Seeing flashes of my own death.
Yet.... What if one word, or action sway them all? It is improbable, but not impossible. If I didn't fight them all, then how would I know who would win for sure. If there is doubt, then I can never live in the present. If I can't live in the present, then I will remain a ghost of the past. To forever haunt my troubles.
The prophecy of death wasn't the death of my mortal coil, but the death of my character. The warrior turned from a simple man in to something beyond. That beyond would determine necessary factors for turning the tides.
Did the man turn in to a god? Did he turn in to a religious converter, or a thousand man killer? Or did he like every other character in the ending, die as a brave hero, to move on in to the realm of death and move on in to the future by allowing himself to be in the present.
[End analogy]
I have to live life in the present, to experience, is to be human.
This is the all knowing movie that has already played, and forever will play.
I have contacted my ex, in doing so, I have relieved a big pressure from my chest. The pain has lessened considerably. I have to follow my life lessons, my intuitive side that will hopefully take me on the right path. Time will tell.
No contact has allowed me to cut off incoming pain, and deal with the pain that was currently inside me. It allowed me to concentrate on that pain, and to change and grow as a person. However I do require more....
And if I'm wrong, and you are right. I can at least say that I tried....
As long as I don't compromise my integrity,my values, my character values, and try to do good for myself, then and only then will I be able to move forward.
I thank you for your words, heart, and true understanding.
